Anyone have experience with HARTMANN wheels? Putting together my winter tires for my 2011 Q5 3.2 and I really like the look of the Hartmann 204's--remind me of my sline wheels! Also, any chance buying them local in Toronto rather than spending $ on shipping?

Have not bought them but friends who have say the quality and reliability is good and better than the other aftermarket ones

I have a set of 19" Hartmann TTRS replicas but haven't used them yet. They appear very well built (in Germany) and are lightweight too.

Try Independent Tuning. I have no experience with them myself but found info on the web that they have Hartmanns. http://www.independenttuning.ca/. Please report back if you go there.

Talked to the guys at independent tuning--they buy from achtuning so the end result is as if u went ahead and bought directly from achtuning. Decided to go with RPI equipped http://www.rpiequipped.com/store/-- they are out of BC and supply Hartmann's for all of Canada and there shipping is reasonable without the hassle of worrying about customs-- I'll post a pic when I get em.

Tried Independent Tuning but was told they don't stock Hartmann's but just order from Achtuning. Decided to go with RPI Equipped--they're in British Columbia and supply Canada with Hartmann's--no need to worry about duties, brokerage, ect I'll post a pic when I get them!

Got the 204's--here's a pic--cost me just north of 2 grand to get them delivered to my door.

I see your hartmann's are equipped with winter tires. What made you go for 19 inchers instead of the recommended 18's. I am thinking of going 19 also but am hoping there will be sufficient sidewall for montreal pot holes etc in the winter. Looks like it might be good enough. At least it won't compromise the look by too much and it isn't such a huge price differential between the 18's and 19's.

thanks

What size are those mags? 18's ? Are they nearly identical to the stock 20 inch S-line mags? looks like it.

thanks
