Sportecs by far

take a look at my rims sometime Ed. 17"s on streets that are not as bad as Jersey streets. These wheels are soft...get something strong, I imagine the Sportecs are stronger. Unless you live in SoCal or Florida with butter smooth roads, don't get the RS4's.

Double check if a 19mm socket will fit inside the holes.

i really worry about the strength of replica rims. sportecs are heavy as sin, but they're strong

I was "told" that they were a pound lighter than the S4 Avus rims...

but I never got a chance to weigh them on the scale. I believe the 18s were 26 or 27 lbs. I also have them paired with the heavy but excellent S-03s in 235/40/18. Next time I have the wheels off, I'll try to weigh them.
