Mkato both links bring me to the opening splash page of tire rack. Can you give me the make and mfg by any chance and i can look it up?

BTW..thanks so far. I like all the suggestions. I am so out of touch when it comes to getting decent wheels without spending a fortune.

They're more than 4lbs lighter. The 18" wheels standard on the S4 in the US are 28lbs each (per my scale). So, the ET45 version is about 8lbs lighter.

They're Enkei Tuning Raijin. I got 18x8 ET35 ones in hyper silver (not for winter).

I'm very likely going with the Alzor 18s this winter from ECS...$600 for all four shipped! I think these will provide what I want at a really good price. PM me with more details on your thoughts if you'd like though. I won't be pulling the trigger for awhile.

These are not bad from Pyspeed, $649 for four, about 23 lbs each; http://www.pyspeed.com/AU510-OEM-Rep...m-au510-18.htm

Alzor wheels, 30 lbs each, see read more; http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_S4-...oys/ES2207750/

Last winter I bought 4 Rial DH for my new S4. They are German made and look great.

Be careful of the center holes. I bought a set last winter and they look great and the quality seems to be good. However the center cap hole is larger than the OEM and the caps that came with them were too loose. So I had to dab them with a little silicone to keep them from rolling past me at the red light!

The stock 5 spoke cap/lug covers won't work as advertised. But still for the price they look great.

Just might want to have someone mike the center cap holes before shipping.

Thanks for the info. Saving some weight in the wheels would be good from what I've read. Will consider!

Shoot the way the web site is laid out I thought it meant $649 each. I love the titanium wheel look. That seems like a good deal.

They need to note that it is $649 for all 4. I would have blown them off completely. The pyspeed place.
