Would these rims be up for the task of the 4000lb+ B8 S4 beast? I love the look, just worried the durability may not be there. How well do these hold up? Looking at a 19x8.5"
Thanks!

All the wheels we sell are rated to carry more weight than the car is rated for (weight of the car + passengers + luggage etc), so regardless of the wheel using the Hyper Light Technology or not they are going to be strong enough to be safe. I think it is fair to say that there is probably very few 19" wheels that could be proven to be more durable than just about any other wheel given the combination of heavy car + low profile tires.
FWIW a fully forged wheel would be a little stronger but at $ 1100 a wheel may not be worth the improvement.
