"new" wheels for my ride!!!

[pipe7284]

These where the rims my bro had in his 05 GLI, since he is selling it i took'em off and i am putting the mon my a4. i actually haven't seen any a4 b5 with a set like this. I was looking for something different but for right now is better than stock.


I am really looking for something kinda, sort of like this. 5 flat spoke, i really dont know what they are called. but in black.

[ExpLlclT]

search RAVI's recent post he wanted to buy a set close to what you want

[Poopie]

is the bolt pattern the same?

[pipe7284]

ExpLlclT= i gues RAVI and I have the same wheel taste. love those type of wheels.

Poopie= i really dont know but i wil find out. If anybody knows in here, go ahead an chip in your knowledge on wheel patterns.

[trbo4]

Nope. MK4 VW's use a 5X100 bolt pattern. Audi is 5X112. They do make adapters though.

[pipe7284]

^^^where can i get adapters? is it worth it? or just sell them and get what i really really want. but that takes time and i want them on now!!!! sorry for being so impulsive with my mods. but i just want my car to look nice and clean.
i am going to put them up for sale anyway.

[tanklee]

[pipe7284]

[Lazer Viking]

[tanklee]

[pipe7284]

They are nice looking wheels, but TONS of people have them. Being that they don't cost all that much. Sell and get different ones.

[A4_2.8tuner]

quite a few people have those wheels...which is why i went a little different with my hp's...

thinkin about possibly changin my wheels next year though...we'll see...

[Rons01B5]

i have them, i personally think they are pieces of junk, but i think im the only one that is having a problem with them

[pipe7284]

^^^what kind of problem are you encountering.?

[A4_2.8tuner]

ya i'd like to hear what the deal is.

[AudiSport12]

[jones3000]

tons of the people pn the forum have em' but the chance or running into another A4 with them is still slim, even in Florida. Don;t get caught up in what people on the forums are running.

[AsianA408]

yep.... pretty no one on here has those wheels man....

i can not get them to stop studdering/viabrating after 55mph

1st- a recieved the wheels by ups, they had a wierd line indentaion in 3 of the wheel lips, i called hp and they said that sometimes that happens in the casting process, it will not affect the wheel-OK idont care

2nd- iput the wheels on, and over 55mph i get bad vibration. call the hp distributer that i bought them from, he told me he must of sent the wrong hub-rings.

3rd- get the hub rings, still vibration, go to get the tires rebalanced, took away maybe 30% of it but was still there

4th- I think maybe it is the car, not the wheels, put my stockers on. everything is fine.

4th- went ot my friend who is an audi tech. with the hp's on, put it on the lift and idled it, he said that the wheels have a hop to them, so he put the wheels with the least hop in the front. that took about 70% of the vibration away. I decided to get new tires thinking maybe its just the tires, nope same vibration

5th- about 2 weeks ago i took the wheels off t do my brakes and put them back on. and now they viabrate even more.

BTW- i have talked to hp a number of times and all they say that they must have sent me the wrong hubrings.

[AUD-A4]

^^^thats gay,that wld piss me off big time, i cant stand vibrating sounds!!!

[pipe7284]

Rons01B5= can you return them? or at least go to a local shop and exchange them? that suck man.

anyway
B5Ghost= you are right, i will go ahead and put them on, where i live, i have not seen an a4 b5 with HPs on. I`ll go ahead and put them on and save up some money to get what i want.

wait, i take it back, different bolt pattern, i will sale on vwvortex.
