Yeah, I hear you - no worries
After going back and forth, I ended up going with the Kumho Ecsta 4X 255/45R20. There was a good sale and rebate that made it hard to pass up - also they were highly rated in their price range by TireRack recently (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...y.jsp?ttid=151) so it all lined up. I wanted all seasons as we'll be taking this vehicle up to NJ/CT and OH all seasons.

Thanks!
You mean like these?
If you look back close at the original photos, and you squint, you can see these are on there. Or at least you can see there is no red there, which is present on the Hartmanns.

Looks great!

I picked up the same wheels a few weeks ago in 19.
Overall I'm glad I went back to the OEM look but I wish the finish was a little duller. They seem to have a little more shine than the OEM's.

great set-up. why did you choose ET40 offset vs ET25?

Did you have to buy new R13 bolts recommended forthese wheels?

Thanks again for sharing.

I think this was the only size that had some "blems" available when I bought. Also the outside of the wheel is the same as the OEM 20" that came on my Q5, and I was comfortable with that look, so I stuck with it. Here's a table I had created previously:

I went with the same wheels for my winter set up. I really wanted a different wheels but at the time I had no other choice. I am happy with the way they turned out. I only have them on about 5 months. So....

Thanks for the numbers Mark.
Do you think the ET+25 rims would poke out a bit too much?

Out of curiosity, why did you go with Hartman vs. VMR V708 RS4 replicas?

+25 would be a more aggressive fitment...i'd go that route.
