Default The OEM Forged 20's are the 2nd lightest factory wheel...

Older version is 26 lbs and I would think the newer verion is lighter. The 12 spoke 19 is the lightest at 24 lbs.

12 spoke 19ins are one of the classiest looking rims ever. none else comes close.

Default Actually, 20's are a lot heavier than that--per Audi spec. weights too

Audi spec (2006 W12 Product Information) says the 9 spoke RS style 20's weigh 32.5 lbs even in forged. My bathroom scale confirms it at 33lbs for a loose/scatched one I have. Part 4E0 601 025 AF (geschmiedet) [which is "forged" in German]. The 20's are not light at all--the heaviest of the D3 A8 wheels, to be expected given they are 20's, there is a whole reinforced area behind the spokes compared to the RS6 wheels in 18 as an example, and at 9" they are wider than all the others too.

Spec says 19's weigh 24.5 lbs (forged) and the 18's (cast--the later painted fat five spoke type) weigh 28.2 lbs. Haven't handled the 19's, but sounds right for the 18's I have handled (and that is the spare w/ the 20's on my car, just painted black and with yellow safety labels but a P6 tire).

Default A few questions...

I'm interested but have a few questions.

1. Are these OEM versions? I thought the OEM ones had black inner paint?

2. Comes with bolts?

3. What about offset and wheel spacers? I'd like the wheels to come flush with the bodywork, not set in flamingo style.

4. How much for center caps?

Thanks,
Rich

Default Re: A few questions...

1 - Yes OEM version...they have grey windows. I just pulled the first pic I could find.

2 - You would use the existing bolts off your car (unless you go with #3 which is supplied with new bolts)

3 - These ate ET46 - You can run up to a 25mm spacer to push them out.

4 - I'll have to get pricing.
