Default Velocity Motoring - V708 18 INCH "B7 RS4 Replica" Wheels - PRE-ORDERS

<center><img src="http://pics.velocitymotoring.com/forum/rs4-web-a4.jpg"></center><p>
we've jsut introduced our new 18" v708's (rs4 replicas) They are scheduled to be in around the end of Oct/early Nov timeframe.

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&amp;threadid=97120

These are made at a completely different and much higher quality factory than the Version 1 19" wheels which were manufactured in Italy. These new wheels are much stronger and resistant to bending, the finish is much better and resiliant, accepts OEM centercaps, and clears ALL OEM brakes as well as Brembo and Stoptech BBK's.

email me if you have any questions.

Default So your Italian wheels bend often and are weak?

kind of discouraging to hear the statement about how much stronger these wheels are than your normal wheels.

FinnishPride,

All our normal wheels are made by the same factory as our RS4 v2 wheels.

ONLY the first initial batch of the RS4 wheels were made in Italy. We were trying out a new manufacturer in Italy, but once we got our first shipment and noticed the realatively poor quality and softness of their product, we decided to engineer and produce our own variant (the v2's) and have the same factory which produces all our other wheels make the RS4 wheels for us as well.

Default Thank you... those a very nice indeed. 8.5" only or is an 8" available.

I am only wondering what would be a better for tire choice. Would the 235/40 still be an optimal choice on the 8.5"?

Thanks

235 woud be the standard size on the 18x8.5, but many of our customers as well as our staff recommend 245's becasue the price difference is very small, yet the performance difference is noticeably better. Of course, this depends on your tire selection, weather conditions in your area, and road conditions in your area. Depending on these factors, you may be better off with ust getting 235's.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Default Those are hot man, I'm looking to pick up a pair for Winter Use...

Or maybe swap the Winter tires on my stock S-line rims and make those summer rims.
Either way those are smokin'
