Source for OEM Titanium 18's?

[forbiddenbeat]

Bought an ibis white titanium package A4 recently, but the owner had replaced the OEM wheels with BBS CH (Eurotech reps). I prefer the OEM wheels - does anyone know a good place to source them new?

Save yourself some money and get the VMR V709's in gunmetal.

Well, when I eventually sell the car, I'd prefer to have the real thing on there. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of running reps - the wheels on there now get a lot of compliments, but it bothers me that they're essentially trying to look like something they are not.

well if your stuck on buying OEM then find the part number and look on genuineaudiparts.com, might be a good start over a dealership...but your going to be paying top dollar no matter.

Every now and then they show up in the classifieds here. I have the same problem on my car (07 Titanium) the previous owner put RS4 reps on it. Car looks good though!

I believe ECS sells them but they are expensive..Check the classifieds

Hmm, ok, appears that they cost as much as actual BBS CHs and are probably heavier, so I suppose I'll watch out for a used set. Thanks guys.

After some thought, the VMR 709s do look pretty legit. Any info on whether they are lighter/stronger than OEM?

[matthewb2795]

I don't know about weight, but I have heard of people bending VMR's somewhat easily. I'm sure they are fine, but I doubt they are as strong as the OEM Titaniums.

A set pops up in the classifieds every so often

ill take your ch reps off your hands....my buddy with a TI, is thinking he might run RS4 reps as his winter wheel...so maybe he will sell his to you?

V709 look nice, but I really wish they were offered in 18's. 18x8.5 with 35 offset titanium wheels would be really nice.

the vmr v709 are discontinued i believe

Or get a set of OZ Superturismo LM (matte graphite silver).
