Default RS4 replicas (9-spoke)

I just got off the phone with Ben at Achtuning, here are the weights for the 9-spoke RS4 replicas (as per image below):

18x8: 27 lbs
19x8: 29 lbs

Does anyone know the OEM wheel's weight?

Thanks!
-Marc

Default My guess would be somewhere around that weight

The way those are made in very similar to the OEM wheels.

Ask and see if the DTM wheels are available. The have the same look but a bit different.

Default I like those if they have THOSE center caps.

A lot I have seen have a chrome(at least where the bolts are) cap.

Default i believe ACHTUNING ships the replicas with the OEM caps as pictured.

that's what i heard from a previous post. i had to retrofit the OEM caps on my replicas...by cutting the depth of where the cap sits on the wheel inside. it would have been nice to get them like this...although i paid $600 plus shipping for the 18" x 8".

Default According to their web site, you get the choice

Either OEM (Audi) center caps, or replicas.
KodeTT - if you paid $600 for all four 18x8 wheels, that's an excellent price, as they're now $950 for the replica caps or $1050 for the Audi caps!!

Default I got mine from EdgeRacing but they don't stock them anymore

I got the last of the 'good' batch. They were working with an Italian company which sent them a 'bad' batch on a group buy. The wheels were bending while the tires were being mounted! Mine are fine and still look great after 9k miles. I love the look of them but I have modified the centercaps since those pics were taken. I'll have to update my poster with the new version I made. DId you already get your car? If you haven't I would say order that option through Audi. The price is not too bad when part of a car order but very high afterwards.
