What's too trendy? Emotions aren't too common on S4's, or are you referring to the dark wheel trend
?
If I had to choose between the Iforged or these I'd choose the Iforged for certain. However, these are just winter wheels, and I didn't really know what other cost effective way to go in a 18x9"-ish wheel.

ohhhhh, i thought you were replacing the i-forged. those are some SICK winter wheels!
I don't care for the work wheels because they're too trendy... almost as bad as RS4 reps and OZ SLs lately

Woah
I was actually curious what you'd think. Glad you like.
You've seen this car in person before with the Sprints, right? Don't you think they'd look pimp with black centers? I'm gunna give it a try and see.

It was these or SL's for the winter, and 9" SL's are tough to come across, plus SL's are
overpopulating on the S4's IMO, so I went with the Work's. As for trendy, not too sure if I can agree. Haven't seen more than a half dozen on here...if that.

I've seen it in person. Beautiful car but...
(and here is the das eighty in me coming out) they don't belong on that car. That car deserves far better than iforged. If a huge step like wide body is taken with the s4, you or anyone would follow suit with an appropriate set of wheels. Not bashing iforged, but IMHO, they are crap. Lots of complaints of fit and finish, bolts coming loose, uneven distribution while driving in the rain, easily bent lips, etc etc etc...
Not sure what your budget is, but the iforged can probably still get a good amount of money in return. Lots of wheel options out there. All dependent on what you are willing to spend. Let me come up with some info and I'll get back to you.

Most any 19 is gunna bend when matched up w/our ****ty roads and exacerbated w/a stiff
spring rate. And 30 series tires definitely give no cushion. So I really can't fault Iforged about the bends.
I've been arguing with a friend of mine who's quite the analytic, and he's says that there's no way that water sitting in the barrell of the wheel when driving in the rain can cause the wheel to come out of balance (your uneven distribution comment). I beg to differ even though what he says makes alot of sense because a few weeks back I got caught in a heavy downpour on the thruway and I thought my wheels were gunna shake themselves right off the car. I had to stop and get the water that pooled up in the barrell soaked up with some paper towels just so that I could drive over 45mph.
Curious though as to what you come up with for suggestions.
