Default i'm thinking about picking these rims up (more)

<img src="http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/tnodrt.large.jpg">
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33748&item=2414484 655">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=33748&amp;item =2414484655</a>

Would it be worth the time/money to pick up spacers/adapters + rolling fenders on the savings for 4 rims? Or is this going to be more of a pain than spending the mad dough for 18's that are 5x112?

How much more are the 5x112 ones? It would prolly be cheaper to just get those.

Default hartmann has a variation of these - i guess audi had them specially made

i saw the article in eurotuner and hartmann's website - they're 19x8.5 I believe on the S4, and specially made by Technomagnesio for Audi Sport - which I'm sure isn't cheap.

As for their toughness, I can't find many people who have them, so I don't have anyone to attest to them.... but I was planning on getting a set =)
