When buying eBay wheels, quality is something that is very concerning. You can get some good wheels on eBay, but the majority will be... less than average. Avoid potholes, and you may be refinishing them, but they should hold.
If you want something worth having, get some real reps, look into something like VMR, or Hartmann (the best of reps). You're gonna pay more but you're gonna get something that doesn't suck. Maybe even looking into used OEM wheels (or new if you like spending money)

Do not buy wheels from eBay. There a many reputable wheel companies to choose from.

ok. I've look at hartmann and vmr so far. Any other ones I should check out before buying?

i'd go with the rs4 wheels over those

So im thinking of the 997 turbo wheels. The size are 18x8 +50mm in the front and 18x10 +46mm in the back. A bit slow when it comes to understanding offset and how the whole process works. I have a a bbs wheel set up right now with 18x8's all around but forget what the offset is off the top of my head. I used the the offset calculator and I'm starting to think that these will not fit. Or at least the back wheels will poke out way too much for my liking. Can anyone shed some light on this topic for me please? has anyone seen this setup before? I've seen them on a TT but not an a4

^This. You can get crazy deals with decent tires. Just got some authentic bbs ck's 18x8 with kumho's for a sweet deal.
