Default Winter Tire Setup-VMR V710

Has anyone gone with the VMR V710 wheels for their RS4? These wheels look amazing to me, I would like to purchase them for a winter setup.

Would spacers be required for these rims, any known quality issues with VMR wheels? If anybody has these wheels on their RS4 can you please post pics. Any advice on running these on a winter setup would be greatly appreciated. This is the first time I have to get a set of winter wheels and this is a learning process for me. I've decided that 19" wheels are acceptable to me bc I will not be driving in extreme conditions, I have truck for those types of conditions. Actually the thought of driving behind a salt truck makes me cringe so I doubt If I'll be driving much in the winter but I still want to have a little fun on the snow.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/94363.phtml">VMR 710 Wheel</a></li></ul>

Default Spacers required

Just spoke with Velocity Motoring, I was told 10-15mm spacers are required.

Most likely will try to find OEM wheels. Anybody have a set of OEM wheels their looking to sell?

Default Good looking, but they are HRE P40 rip-offs

Default their site says they make a 19x9.5 in 22/33/45mm offset

Would the 22mm offset fit? My calculations say it would push the face of the wheel 1/2in out towards the fender.

Unfortunately, those are BMW 5x120 sizes only. For Audi we only offer V710 in 19x8.5 ET35

Default You need to make this more clear on your website. If you did make a 19x9.5" Audi wheel.......

It could fit the RS4, A6, S6, A8, S8.
