Anybody actually buy a set of RS6 reps from Wheels and Caps ?
I remember seeing that a few of you were thinking of buying these off ebay. Price sure is compelling. Anyone take delivery and care to comment on quality, weight, etc?

How much? I just bought a set of RS6 Reps from my local DT store....
18x8.5, Italian made for $500 including mounting, balancing and tax. Nice looking wheels too. You should be able to get a set from your local Discount Tire store, or call my guy and have him drop ship to you.

Are the DT ones the correct offset?
Nice thing about Wheels and Caps is they are direct bolt-on, no need to spend extra cash on spacers.
I'm curious about the Wheels and Caps quality too, they have plenty of good feedback, but who knows how they hold up.

I just looked them up. One caution- find out what bolt seat these wheels have....
Their listing says the wheels use the factory bolts, but factory wheels are a ball seat, and every RS6 Rep out there uses a cone seat. They may well be machining the wheels for ball seat, but if not, you'll need to buy 20 bolts too.

Yes.
I'm having them mounted tomorrow, however they won't be going on the vehicle until spring. I'll take a look at the lug nuts this evening and see if I can determine what is required and what was included.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/166932.phtml">My prior comment</a></li></ul>

Yes.
For the price, they are fine. No blems in the powdercoat and they came with lug bolts. My tire store owner friend hooked me up with some 245/45ZR18 Nexxen N3000 tires, which are very quiet.<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/103659/dsc01946.2.jpg">http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/103659/dsc01946.2.jpg</a</li></ul>
