they're too wide / you'll need wider fenders. the OEM rs4 wheels bend though. the repros are better

Default agreed...this topic has been discussed before...

unless you're gonna do a widebody and have a TON of money to blow on soft heavy rims the RS4 reps from Achtuning are the best route.

i do like the look of the rs4 wheel,was worried about replicas being soft, do you know who actually manufactures the replicas, as i live in england, have seen some rs4 style wheels over here but they looked poor (made in italy i think)

Default They're not too wide ... it's the ET20 offset that keeps them from being an S4 fitment

;-)

Default There's a bit of irony in your query about Oe RS4 alloys and replicas being "too soft"

If you know the history of the factory RS4 alloys. ;-)

I'd suggest another Audi enthusiast resource more local to you as well, <a href="http://www.rs246.com">RS246.com</a> ... tell them Rob O sent you.
