Hamann Monoblock IIs

Just bought a set of 18" with 245/40 Dunlops for $2300. There is MINOR redrilling
required... If you buy them through Wheel Power they'll take care of that... and a center
adapter is used for the best fit w/out compromising performance and/or handling. Most
people have bought the rims w/tires for around $2800. They look awesome. Attached is
a picture

How's it going? If that's a picture of your car...well I guess you must be very pleased because it looks fantastic. The more pictures I see of the A4 with these wheels makes me want them more. A couple of questions: Did the minor re-drilling blemish or make a noticeable mark on the wheels at all? Also, are these 18" wheels relatively heavy or light? Your response is greatly appreciated.

There is MINOR redrilling required... and MAJOR
troubles about your safety and potentially with
insurance in case of accident. Ok I know there
is no quality norms for rims in USA but
nevertheless if the rim is not by design
engineered for your car I let you imagine what
could happen if you break one just in a curve
testing the perfect handling of your car at 100 mph... Hello s..t providing the fact you're still
alive ! I also agree that if it is just to show
off in the parking lot it is not too much
risky ;-)

These rims are terrific and I would love to
equip my car with, but it is really too much
stress knowing the rims are not designed for it.

My 2 cents

Actually the redrilling is offsetted with an ADAPTER and Wheel Power GUARANTEES the work. The redrilling only a few millimeters on the back of the rim. I have never heard/seen/met/etc. a person loosing a rim that was redrilled... I respect your comments, but I can not agree with you.

ANY rim will be destroyed during a "curb test" @ 100mph if you hit the curb... if it breaks for any other reason... redrilled or not then the blame is on the quality of the rim.

Also, any problems w/ rubbing? And how wide are the rims?
