I hated them so so so much
before I bought the car, they had the rs4-ish rims available for only S4, but for some reason they made it available for only A4.

but I have to admit that it looks 'right' with the S4. And I'm beginning to see that it is so hard to look right with b8 bodystyle...

but yea... If I had the RS4-ish rims, I would try to save money and just leave the rims stock. But I feel the need to change current rims.

and I was very surprised to find out that many loved the rims

Default I really do not like the looks of the OEM S4 19" wheels.

The 18" OEM S4 wheels are tolerable (Candian 18" 2010 S4 look better). The RS4 wheels look better. There are also some nice looking aftermarket wheels Actually, I think any of the Audi OEM wheels look better than the 2010/11 OEM 19" wheels.

Totally agree. The 19" stock rims are boring & not edgy looking at all.

where do you plan to sell your stock 18" wheels? ebay? I'm looking to do the same.

I don't like either the OEM 19" or 18" wheel looks. However, OEM 18" is better looking IMO than the 19". I ordered a aftermarket set of 18" wheels/tires before my car showed up and installed them when my car came in. I later sold my OEM 18" wheels/tires. It also hacked me off that I couldn't get OEM UHPAS tires, only summer tires.

old school BBS, but I like them..

Hey buddy, I'm sure glad you're not going to sell your 18s until *after* your aftermarket 19s come in!

I can't be the only one who thought of them that way? Everytime I see the rims I get reminded of the flower rims from the New Beetle and potatos. Only good thing about them is that they make the car instantly recognizable as S4's, not A4's.
