I'm not really a fan of those idk y...

[ekaufman]

I like the look of those on a B7. They look much more aggressive than the RS4 reps, which I also like, but have a more luxury vibe to them.

[R1NSE]

i think they look pretty sick

[SFA4]

i think they look pretty sick

I agree. Especially on the black sedan.

[jones3000]

Damn....that black A4 looks tough with those wheels.

[ekaufman]

I asked the same question when comparing the R8 reps to the RS4 reps in this thread:

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=210850

I still havent seen anyone post pics that arent from Hartmann.

[80020vr6]

I agree with everyone that they look great on the black sedan.

[VZWalex]

looks slick on the black sedan. +1

Are there reps out already? Where can you get ahold of them? Because I want! Does that B7 have 4 front wheels from the R8?

Hartmann has them, and there are a coule of eBay sellers with them as well. They are about $300/wheel from Hartmann at 19", but the eBay versions are around $700/set shipped. All 4 wheels are 19x8 ET35 from either place you buy them.

I actually talked to a guy on the phone from one of the eBay sellers and he told me that they have a lifetime finish guarantee, so if they chip or peel, they'll send you a new one.

I like the look of them, and since I have a black B7, I may pick them up.

[IceMole]

I like them

[akasch]

i think the r8 wheels look really good on the sedans. i don't know about that blue avant maybe its just because its not lowered though

[dreamcar=rs4]

i think they look great. how much do they weigh?

[redlabel81]

Looks like the pic I posted has polished outline....Doesn't look like the Hartmanns have this?

Kind of crappy as well, but I could perhaps try to get you some more...

I just found 2 different sellers on eBay that sell different versions of this R8 rep.

Once of them has them in 19x8" ET42 and the other in 19x8" ET35 (which would probably look better on the B7)

Weight-wise, the ET35 are listed at 24lbs. I couldnt find the weight of the ET42 versions.

Price-wise, they are listed at $800 shipped, but I'll bet you can get them for less.

[redlabel81]

^^ nice! Thanks. Will see if there is some money to save by getting them from the states.

[Zebman]

I wonder if anybody makes them wider. I'm looking for a staggered setup.

[Sly Raskal]

these wheels would look sick painted a dark color to match ibis white b7's with titanium kits.

[Kid Red]

I love the wheels, I had contemplated getting them, but ultimately decided that I didn't think they went with the A4's vanilla body shape. They almost require something curvier like the R8.

[ekaufman]

Check these out, they come in different finishes:



Heres the link where I found them:

^^ Sweet!! Wonder what would look best on a phantom black a4........

[ekaufman]

I wanted to bump this up to see if anyone else had pics. Im trying to decide between the fat spoked RS6 and these r8s.

[rezn8]

Give me a few days and I'll post up my new RS8 wheels - its been raining so haven't been able to shoot some good ones.

By the way, pictures don't do these wheels justice. They look amazing!

Definitely post those up, Id like to see them. Are you dropped, or are you putting them on with stock suspension?

By the way, where did you order them from?

[ra.CE]

Im rolling with 19" R8 reps and i think they are more good-looking than RS4 reps. Thats just my opinion.

Here is some pics of mine.

I have better pics in my camera but i havent got them uploaded yet but i will post them when i have them into computer.

Enjoy.

I'm dropped on Stasis Street Sports and also added an RS4 rear sway. I think what makes these wheels work is having the car lowered (most wheels for that matter) but especially these since they can appear to be thin looking from a direct side view. THe moment you move to the side or more 3/4 view, the wheels show their strength and greater thickness. What I really like is the amount of dish they have along the circumference, between the 5 spokes.

I got it all from Achtuning achtuning.com/, I live 5 minutes from them. Great service and very easy/friendly to work with. Their site has my car on it, scroll down, second red one, non s-line. I'll shoot better pics this weekend. I'm going to raise the rear slightly and lower the front slightly from what's pictured there.

[ekaufman]

rezn - so youre saying they wouldn't be a good choice if Im going to stay on the stock sport suspension?

I actually stole pictures of your car from Achtuning/Hartmann and posted them in another thread earlier:

a bump for my favorite wheels

[john@fifteen52]

ra.CE: Are these 35 or 42 offset?

[tonison]
