Re: We have a few Hartmann 18" deals at the moment, most will need spacers though
Skyler,
What would these require to fit me allroad? Cost for bits?
S8 - 114 18×8.0? ET48 5×112 $799-set! (matching spare wheel is available)
I do like.

Re: neither of those will fit the allroad without spacers and longer lug bolts
No problems with bending, etc? I looked on the website (Very slow site) but did not see those? Do you have a link? Prices seem good and direct bolt on is music to my ears. Also do you have a pic with them on?

I'm in MA/NH with some extra wheels (not an ad - just trying to help)
I have (6) AT Italia S5s, 18" x 7.5" ET20 bolt-on, no spacers to donate to someone's cause. But there is a story...
The (4) originally bought came with bored/stepped centers and centering rings, but I couldn't get them to balance quite right - slight vibrations from 60-70mph. So replaced the worst 2 offenders with (2) new from Tire Rack, which came with hub-centric centers (no rings) and fit/balance great.
Then I noticed the centering rings say "Mille Miglia" on them, and my tech said they don't quite fit snug in the centers to give a solid fit to the hub, and that I should either get new/better centering rings or 2 more hubcentric wheels.
But now Tire Rack (and others, I guess) are out of this size/style. So I was planning to get new centering rings that fit more snugly and, theoretically, would balance better on the car. But I found a great (and cheap) set of used RS6 reps instead, and didn't want to spend any more time on the project.
Bottom line - if you or anyone else wants to take all (6) plus the existing (4) centering rings, you're welcome to try to get them to balance and/or get some new rings so they are better centered on the hub.
Or someone with existing AT S5s can take them and use the (2) hubcentric wheels from Tire Rack as spares in case they bend one of their own (given that there are no replacements to be found as far as I can tell).
If anyone is interested, send me an email. I prefer local pickup, but will ship if pressured hard enough.
I'm not trying to dump junk on anyone or make any money (except maybe a 12-pack or decent bottle of wine if things work out well). If there are no takers I'll just store them until I'm motivated enough to look for new rings. Just thought I'd throw this out to my fellow AR compadres.
My sig pic shows the wheels. All (6) are cosmetically great. Can send close-up pics if needed.

DRA come with bolts to bolt the spacer to the hub, your existing wheel lugs are reused
