Guys i have the sprint blue s4 with the stasis touring suspension... i have the 19 inch spoke rims stock love them but thinking of going with 20's Hartmann B7 HRS4-252-GA:M and 20" Replica Wheels for Audi S4. How do u think it will look and are the strong rims... Do u think they will be too heavy or raise my car...or should i stay with my 19 inch ...

The 20s will not raise your car since the diameters of the tires will remain the same or at least be very close. BUT the sidewalls will be narrower to compensate for the increase in the wheel diameter. This WILL make the wheels more prone to be damaged(especially in the pot hole belt) since there will be less sidewall rubber to compress and absorb any impacts from road irregularities. Your ride will also be less compliant. So you will trade looks for durability and ride comfort. Some will find that a compromise they can live with. Others will not. The good thing about buying replica wheels is if/when you do damage one, they generally are not overly expensive to replace.

I think that is a good choice. while I had them they were great!

pretty heavy, but only a bit more that the stock peelers.

I have 18" anthracite RS4 replicas on my sprint blue during the winter, and think they look pretty decent. They'd look better in 19 or 20 inch size, but wanted to stay with 18s for better snow tire choice/performance.
The RS4 wheel style is simply a classic.

I have 19 inch BE by Breyton GTS AV rims on my Nogaro Blue B6 S4 with Pilot Super Sports. They are so much lighter then my stock 18s, I think the rims only weight about 22 lbs each. Click my name and look in my album for pics. I purchased them from Tire Rack, not that expensive and I think they look great. The only problem I had with them is I had to raise my car to stock height to prevent damaging my new tires and wheel well. I don't think you would have that problem with the B8 though.
