Hi guys,

I'm currently in the market for a new set a wheels for my B7, my current RS4 reps 19x8.5 seem to be cheap quality (previous owner installed them) Ive owned the car for around 6 months now, i have had all 4 wheels bent back to shape and 1 crack repaired in the inside lip, which my mechanic has notified me has cracked again, i can get it fixed under warranty. I like the RS4 reps, but i don't really want to buy another set of RS4 reps.. What wheels would you guys suggest i look at? I know rotiform's are overplayed in the states but in aus there is very few around here.. i was looking at the Nue's but the 3 piece are abit pricey, so i would have to go with the cast nues - can anyone give me a review on these? are they strong? how's the concave on them? is it true the lower the offset and higher the width the more concave it will look? And set up would you run on a B7? 19x8.5 ET35?. I like it too be tucking abit but flush.

My budget is around AUD $2,500 and im chasing 19"s. Can b7's run 9" wide? without fender modification? oh and i'm pretty sure I'm just lowered on Sline suspension.
I like the concave look or deep dish. i even had a look at some Work S1R's but i thought they would be too JDM and it is just out of my price range. So at the moment im leaning towards getting a set of cast Nue's unless someone can show me something else.

cheers in advance. [:)]

So it's either WORK GNOSIS GS5 , WORK GNOSIS HS203 or Rotiform cast NUEs... Rotiforms being the cheaper option. What are your thoughts? can you run a 19x9 or 9.5 on the b7s or should I stick with 19x8.5 ET 35..

Im wondering the same thing right now on some LM reps but in 18s, someone just bought 18x8.5 and was having a hard time with fitment issues, i cant imagine 19s being easier but what do i know

18x8.5 ? He shouldn't be having trouble unless his offsets are all wrong.. Hopefully a wheel guru will come clear the air so I can order my wheels..
