Not sure, ordered them from Wheel Enhancement, wanted a little more aggressive than stock to fill well better. They did a perfect job. I recommend good aftermarket wheels for the rs7 21's, as they are so heavy. Steering is noticeably improved, as is responsiveness. I saved around 40 pounds in unsprung weight.

i agree with your impressions of the improvement with the lighter wheel. i live in the mountains in CO and use the stock 20 " wheels with nokian hakkas for my winter set up and hre 101 x 20 9.5 stock offset 35mm . i had hre 101 x 20x10s 27mm offset and that setup made the car oversensitive to steering inputs, off camber roads, rain grooves,and it was darty on hard acceleration and braking. edmunds has a great article on the lengths that audi has gone to keep the wheel center in line with the steering axis. any change can manifest itself and it my experience did. a heavier tire/wheel will also tend to exacerbate the issues
