Here's my winter setup.

18" x 8" R8 replicas from "Drag Wheels". Purchased through Discount Tire. Pretty light at 24 lbs each and seem strong.

holy ****, $400? Steal.

I think those are B8 A4 'sport' wheels from 2009.

FWIW, I picked up a real nice set of OE wheels on CraigsList for less than $400...I'll use them for my snow tires.

Check out the Winter Detail album on my member page for many shots of my winter setup: 18" Hartmann HRS4's in Hyperblack. I went with the ET32 which is just slightly more aggressive than the stock 19" and I think makes up for the smaller diameter.

You're correct, that's the wheel that came on my car. The craigslist wheels are 17". Similar "carved" design, 6 spoke vs. 10. They're from a 2009 car, I was very pleased with this deal ($375). Just have to get the snows mounted. Wheels are nearly new condition.

Here are my 18 inchers. Just got them with new Blizzak LM-60 snow tires as my setup for next winter. Have not had them on the car yet. Wheels were closeout at $119 each and are pretty light at 23.1 lbs and very close to factory fitment at ET45. Whole package was dropped at my door for $1500 and change from Tire Rack.

Sorry, this is sort of a duplicate post as the winter tire thread recently.

Nice serious setup. You must live in Northern New Jersey, huh?

Naw, South Jersey. :-)

We did have a few serious snows here last winter and I made it through with the summer 19's, but it was kind of scary a few of those mornings, had to keep it under 25 MPH to feel safe.

those 6 spokers are the wheels that came on my B8 A4 avant. Summers are 19" VMR708 in gunmetal. Love the way they look on Ibis white.

Sakimano,

Looks good. What are your specs on tires and wheel offset?
