Local shop has some factory wheels as stated above, just not sure they'd fit my A4. Anybody have experience with this size, offset? I would imagine they would rub on the control arms.
Wheel offset calculator says 18mm less clearance inside and 20mm more poke compared with stock wheel.

buy them if they are in good shape
et44 is almost what stock is (they're et43 or et45, depending on the wheel). You sure you have the wheel size right though?

This guy says these wheels came off an A8 he thinks. I'm not worried about the 20mm more poke, just the 18mm less inner clearance.
Was center bore on all pre-B8 cars 57.1? I should have driven over there tonight... those babies will likely get snatched up quick.

At $300 that sounds like a killer deal. I think the wheels would look pretty killer on an A4. Hopefully a more knowledgeable member chimes in on the fit issues.

Are they at Nalley? They sound like factory RS6 reps from an A8.

^^^^Not at Nalley... An auto/wheel shop. You are correct I believe. RS6 style wheels (same style as your car, only 19"), made by Ronal, 19x9, 44 offset.
Anybody know if they'd bolt right on????
How tight is the inner clearance on A4's? In the B7 A4 FAQ there is mention of 9" wide and 44 offset, but not sure what it is in reference to.

i had 19x9 et 41 Bentley Continental GT wheel at one point on my car....
They cleared the fenders no problem, but ran very close to the front knuckle arm, and the rear inner fender wall.
if you ran 3 or 5mm spacers you'll be a-okay

Yeah Ronal makes the OEM wheels. I'm jealous, I'd love to have these wheels in 19".
I do not know the offset of the stockers, but I do know the caliper clearance is very tight. For $300 I'd just get them and try it out with some spacers, if they don't work out you can most definitely sell them on here for twice what you are going to pay for them.

^^^^your wheels are 18x8 with 43 offset I believe. My reps are 18x8 with 32 offset, almost flush.
inner clearance is what I'm worried about... spacers!
