I'm looking for the two or three best places to purchase aftermarket Audi Wheels (Winter set-up).
I'm specifically interested in the following 18 inch wheels in this order.
1. RS4 replica wheels in either silver or titaniam
2. S4 Titanium Package wheels that come on the S4 and (RS5?)
3. S4 18" Replica wheels

Also, what are the two or three most recomended winter tire model for the snow/slush/cold and occasional ice of the upper Mid-West/Chicago area?

I could spend weeks searching or just ask AudiWorld readers and get the best advice from passionate enthusiasts like you...

Thanks

I plan to order the 18" Alzor replicas from ECS Tuning in a few weeks.

achtuning.com they have the best looking RS4 reps I've seen.
Excellent service too!

I got the Alzor 628 18" that are the titanium replicas from ECS, mounted Michelin Alpins. I'll let you know how they work out after they're mounted and see some snow.

Not wanting them for winter since I live in Dallas but looking into replacing my 17" with these. Let us know how the quality is.

I got my 18" S4 titanium replicas from this site:

If you want those same rims, you might have to contact the site as I don't see them posted.

Their quality is great and they were very easy to work with. The rims came in boxes and were extremely well packed.

I mounted Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero's purchased from Tire Rack on those rims. I live in the Chicago burbs and the car with this setup did an awesome job last winter in the snow and on slippery roads.

Here is a pic of how my car looks with the snows mounted:

Carguyrob-
What were the size of your 18 inch Titanium replicas and what were the size of Snow tires you fit on those wheels.
I'm leaning toward the same set-up as you. I think they look great and will be easy to hide the road grime/salt of the winter yet will be easy to clean.
Did you have The Tire Rack ship the tires straight to a tire shop to be mounted? or did you have it all shipped to you and then bring it to a tire shop?

This is my first time buying wheels and tires minus 1 size and I want to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible.

Thanks for all your help.
