Default well, they're the RS4-style rims, not the true RS4 rims...

These used to come as part of the OEM quattro sports pkg on 2001.5 A4s, and as you can see, the spokes are flat.

On the true RS4 rims, which I believe you're right, were 18", the spokes cave in towards the center of the rim, so the whole wheel looks concave.

Still, this is a good deal if the rims are in good shape.
