I just think the *clean silver wheels* look better on both my car and your car.....you can even do a slight metallic tint on your car as well..to play up the silver in the wheels..it would look SWEET!!! Plus why make your car look exactly like someone elses? make yours original...just my thoughts...

thanks bad. Tint is next...but I'll have to wait till the summer. It takes a few days to dry but takes ages if it's cold and cloudy out (which it is here till basically April lol)

Bought them from the classifieds on another site.

Saw a few sets of RS4 wheels, with tires, in the 1300-1600 dollar range. Mine were right in the middle of that.

A local Audi dealer where I buy my parts offered them brand new from Germany for $525/wheel + 13% sales tax, so about $2400 for the wheels new. I think the regular price was like $600 each.

Saki...

If you see or know of any others for sale that were in good/great condition with or w/o tires please let me know. I would like to get a set for winter driving. I almost bought some R8 rims that had snow tires on them but then would have had to find another pair of fronts.

Thanks,
Steve

swesna, the rs4 fitment is frankly so weird that you may as well just get OEM wheels. You'll probably need 19s...and you won't find many 9" wide wheels so you'll need 8.5 wheels with extremely aggressive offset to clear calipers...or you'll need spacers Too many compromises. Just get OEM. They're VERY light for 19x9 ET29 wheels at just abut 26.5 lbs. Nothing better for our cars frankly.

there's a set that has been fully refinished for sale for 1600 on audizine (no tires, never used since refinishing). The price is a bit high but it's a student who NEEDS to sell his wheels so maybe he'll negotiate.

in teh 19" section on az a ways down (they were up there a few weeks ago)
