Default Wheels/Tires...again

OK the aaarims.com site (Lakeshore W/T) there are two styles of RS4 rims which have the same id number and size but the pics and prices are different. I can only provide the link to the page so I have to give the item numbers. They are Style ITN #131, the first ones (look thicker, like $579/set)right under the 18" wheels thing, and then the second style (thinner looking, $699/set) is the one right below that? Is there a difference? Also, I need reccomendations on tires, pref. a 235/40/18, summer only (b/c I have all-seasons on the stock 16"). Any help is greatly appreciated and I promise that this will (hopefully) be the last wheel post it post. Thanks<ul><li><a href="http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/specials/audi.shtml">http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/specials/audi.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default The cheaper set says its made in China and the other set says made in Italy

I dont know about the thickness though. I agree that they look different, but that may be due to the angle of the pics.

Have you ever purchased anything from them? If not you may want to consider going with hartmann or Velocity Motoring, both of whom have good reputations around here.

Regan @ Velocity Motoring is selling a set of RS4 reps for $699 shipped.
