They're from Discount Tire Direct and are only $128, a lot cheaper than the replicas from Hartmann. They're 17-inchers, which is what I want because there are tons of potholes where I live.

Default Probably heavy?

I'm willing to bet that they're several pounds heavier than the Hartmann replicas. Which may not matter to you.

2nd but in this case heavy may mean stronger.

Default not listed in a fitment for the allroad

However, the A4 fitment is 18x8.5 ET30. It might fit the allroad with a spacer.<ul><li><a href="http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?mk=&amp;yr=2002&amp;wd=18&amp;p c=53816&amp;rw=8.5&amp;bp=5-112&amp;vid=007386">RS6 replica</a></li></ul>

And at this price you can replace them cheaply if they bend.

Default Re: Are these wheels any good?

I'm actually about to order a set of these in 18" with some Falken ST115 rubber. They look decent enough and the price is good. Might be a little heavier than other RS6 reps but that's not a big deal to me.
