do you care if the flue on the spoke goes completely around the perimeter or not?

Default If they are OE B7 RS4 wheels they are 19x9.0" ET29

which puts them about 12mm past the edge of the fender on A4/S4. They will likely work on a D3 A8 but I'm not sure on a D2.

We are doing a free shipping special on Hartmann wheels currently however

Default Yes, B7 RS4 sport... 7 thin double spokes, what are my options, I see you have three...

Hartmann B7 RS4 - 242 HC
Hartmann B7 RS4 - 252
Hartmann B7 RS4 - 332-S

Is the OE offset +29? I saw a set on ebay that claimed to be +52?

I like the thought of thicker spokes on the 332-S, but I'm looking for 19" wheels. So I'm left with deciding between the other two. Will they both fit on my 03 S8?

My desired offset is +35, which the 242 HC is, but if possible, I'd like the 8.5" rim instead of 8". Any thoughts?

Last question, if I get the 242 HC which is 19x8, can I run 255/35/19 tires?

Thanks in advance.

Horch It - I love the TT wheels (5 start) where are they from and do they have a fit for the A4?
