I am looking for a set of 18 in. RS4 rep's like one ones pictured below for my B5 S4, and I am trying to consolidate all other threads into one source. It seems as though a ton of people own these wheels, but I am trying to figure out where to get them, among others. There are a few sites online that offer them (OE Wheels LLC, etc), but do not fit the B5's (stock or BBK's).

If you currently own and drive on an RS4 replica like the one pictured, I ask the following:

1.) Where did you purchase?
2.) How much did you pay?
3.) Any issues with the construction/quality (cracking, bending, blemishes, etc.)?
4.) What size tires are you running?
5.) Offset?

TIA

1. An online store OEM Rims Source or something, that I found via google search.

2. About $700 shipped

3. The rims did not have any visible blemishes or anything like that. One of the rims ended up being very slightly bent, but I had them in storage for a month and moved them around a lot. I can't say that it din't happen then or from the shipping, or if they came like that from the factory. Haven't had any problems with it though.

4. 245/35/18 I think

5. I forget what off-set, but I had the same problem with them not fitting over the brakes. I bought a set of 5mm wheel spacers from ECS for the front pair and this was enough to clear the ecs bbk calipers.

On a related note, perhaps a set of RS6 Hartmann reps would be better for you ? They fit over my RS4 brakes so clearance is a non-issue ...

Mine are for sale ...

Thanks for the heads up, anyone else? Anyone deal with oe wheels llc?

RS6 wheels are nice but not for me, but thanks.

I have a set coming from OE Wheels, should be here tomorrow, I'll let you know. One guy there told me they would fit, the other said no (and that they sold NOTHING for the S4). I emailed them a question on ebay and they said yes. I'll try them out this weekend, back they go if they don't fit. I got the 18x8's in hypersilver.

Dealt with OE Wheels LLC. Very good to deal with, very friendly. Would recommend them to anyone. Dealt with them about a year ago and they were nothing but professional.

You had no problems with fitament? What size did you end up getting? Did you need spacers?

I actually have RS6 wheels on it now. I had RS4 Style/OEM B6 Ultrasport wheels before that. The front calipers cleared by MAYBE 2mm of the wheel. That was 18x8 43mm. What I have now is 18x8.5 30mm so it clears by a long shot.

Well, got them. UPS delivered them to the wrong house, my neighbor found them in his garage...WTF....and one of the boxes was already opened before by someone and had the last shipping label ripped off the box. The finish on these has to be the thinest of any wheel I have ever had the pleasure of looking at. They spray the face only, everything else is covered in over-spray. The wheel already had a tiny chip on it, not sure if it came that way or was like that because the box was opened. They do look good from a few feet away.

On to the fitment. They don't fit!!!! First off they hit the stock brake calipers. Second they have too much poke. Looks like there might be fender clearance issues.

I wish they would work, but looks like they are going back and I'm still trying to find an RS4 replica that fits. Who's the next guinea pig?
