Ebay is the company, and you will pay higher price there. I am the graphic designer from them.This is for my personal, I can give you cheaper than that. But i only have 2 sets tho. Once when i sold mine, i will post sold.

I come from an Audi family, and my family has A3, S4, A6, S6, Q7. If you want me to post all my car pics, i will post later. :)
I bought all my car in Penske Audi, my sales person called Jerry Loh. I can hook up a very good deal for you if you want to change a car.

You also might want to look into these. They are from a company with a longstanding reputation for making quality reps, and have an R8 one:

Sportec & Sport Technic were partners before, but they split. That's why you can see they both look similar. This is the reference for both of their websites.

Im trying to decide the same thing. I like the r8 reps, but they look better in 18" on the B7 becasue of how open they are, where the RS4 reps look better in 19".

I also spoke with someone on the phone today from 'Alloy R Us' (terrible name) and he told me that these wheels have a lifetime warranty for paint/surface issues and cracks.

I have posted pics of each on a B7 in another thread askign folks to give their opinion:

Remember, in life, you get what you pay for...

About the Hartmans:

"Hartmann A-R8 replica wheels are cast and painted in Italy. They are made using low pressure cast molding with quality second to no other replica wheel. Don't be fooled by the cheap copies found elsewhere, even many wheels that claim to be made in Italy, are cast in China and painted in Italy. If you want the best OEM replica wheels look no further! Our wheel and tire packages come mounted and balanced with new hardware free of charge. Hartmann A-R8 wheels can also be fitted with OEM Audi centercaps to give these wheels that perfect look."


It's your money sbyang..not trying to confuse you, just trying to educate you.

Hi
i check with my Audi dealer they say i have to use Ball seat bolts on all Audi cars but on Hartmann web site they listed the wheels as cone seat bolts so my dealer say it will not work????
So i check with alloyus their R8 wheels are ball seat just like Audi Factory specification.
As far as where the wheels are made is not that important to me. Honestly if i'm buying a high dollar product like Hugo Boss for clothes or ABT for wheels then i would mind because i'm buying the "BRAND". But when it comes to R8 wheels, Italy or China are both replica of Audi. As long as they are load rated and made Aluminum alloy from the mother of earth..... i'm good with that. But Lug Bolt specification is very key import factor because that is the only thing that hold the damn wheels to my car. If anything goes wrong then China or Italy..... i will be dead......! This is just my little point of view.

The bolts "seats" have to do with the wheel and the surface for the bolt and not car. As long as the bolt length, diameter and thread pattern is correct, that is all that matters for the car.

Please, go ahead and buy the Ebay wheels. But definitely come back here in two months and show us pictures of how nicely the wheel bent after hitting a tiny pothole.

I start regreting to sell 2nd set of 18" R8 wheels. I should just keep 18" for myself, sell 19" only, then i can switch with RS4 whenever i like . It's so popular now. Everyone is asking. Damn, wrong decision.
