Hi all,
Looking to get a set of 4 mags for winter, 18" on a 2015 S4. Tires are 245/40/18. I am looking for aftermarket brands, are these good (any to avoid??) or would you suggest something else? Am in Canada:
Fast Wheels
ART Replica
REPLIKA
ALZOR
RTX
OEPlus
Touren
Is canadawheels or wheelwiz legit?
One more thing: the borecenter on mine says 66.6mm, but many aftermarket ones mention 66.5mm. Will the 66.5mm fit just fine?

Facebook for factory 18's?
I see them all the time for $3-400 for a good set

My current set was purchased as a used set years ago, and one of them had always issues with leaks, etc. Probably the previous guy sold it knowing it has microscopic cracks or leaks. Or it just aged over time?
I rather get a new aftermarket set without potential issues...

I'll admit I knew what he meant. The old cragars or torqthrust wheels would always be referred to as mags. Basically any alloy five or six spoke wheels would be referred to as mags. I also had mags on some of my bicycles as a kid lol.

Still running a set of ECS Alzors I bought back in Feb 2014. Had them on my B6 and now the B7 for well over 100k. This was primarily in SoCal and Vegas, with countless hours on the freeways all over the two states. Lots of spirited driving in canyons and backroads as well.
I did lose one hitting a small section of concrete that had been cut out of a street, so basically the equivalent of hitting a short curb at 50mph. Taco-ed that wheel. Otherwise they've been fairly indestructible.
This is the exact set:

But check out their whole stock and see what else is there.

My only beef with Alzors is they tend to have less wide sizes but that's nbd for a winter set.
Past there, VMRs are a great option. Their stock is a bit low rn esp due to black Friday but there's still some available. Great deals rn as well.

Hope that helps you find a proper set. Let us know what you decide on Waffles.

Thanks for the detailed reply!
Since am in canada, I dont see the Alzors in stock here.
Would you know if a +35mm offset will clear the brakes on the S4?
