Question on these Wheels

[victoorious]

Hey Guys,

I posted a thread a while ago about me getting my Premium Plus Sports Package in June.

I really like the wheels that come with the Prestige S-Line, but it's just too expensive for me to get that whole package So I was looking on eBay and found these for sale.

I know absolutly nothing about cars. I understand that these are not OEM. But these will fit my car right? Also, are these tires good? Usually how much is it to have someone install it for you?

[Gooner1886]

those wheels arent worth more than 600 imo. so whatever tires come with do the math..

So that price is not worth it?

But they will fit my car though right?

You can get these wheels in replica form from VMR or Hartmann. Then just buy some Audi center caps for an OEM look.

I believe they are $800 for wheels only, but don't quote me. Be sure to get 66.6mm bore since I'm assuming you drive a B8 A4. Bolt pattern 5x112

I might actually go with that route. but which finish do I choose to make it look OEM

Optional Finishes:
Hyper Silver, Gunmetal, Onyx Black, Matte Black ?

Yea I spoke to that guy before, their main site is USArim.com. You can buy just those rims by going to http://www.usarim.com/audi-wheels-sk...ms-p-1292.html for 685 and yes they do fit the B8/A4. Just specify your car before you order. But they are replicas so I am hesitant to order them over OEM Audi rims, but that is just me.

Of course it would, however just because the wheels look similar does not mean that the quality is similar. Some Hyundais are styled to look like Mercedes but people aren't really getting a Mercedes at Hyundai pricing.
Hartmann wheels are made side by side with wheels for top end German tuning companies, eBay wheels are typically made in mainland China with the only goal of being as cheap as possible. Most suffer from finish problems as well as fitment and balance problems. We're not interested in supplying problems to people, we're interested in supplying an improvement which is why we don't sell Chinese made junk.

thats right! they are the best replicas you can get anywhere. btw, are you all planning on doing the rs6 style wheel in a 20x9 to fit the b8??

No I just wanted to get the Rs4 19"

[victoorious]

so after doing research im going to go this route

http://shop.achtuning.com/hartmann-b...olkswagen.aspx 19"

I am also getting the tires with it

http://shop.achtuning.com/falken-fk-452-tires.aspx

But for the tires. Im a little confused on which ones do I need?

After I figure out which tire size I am getting, is there anything else i need to buy? or do I simply take them to a shop and pay them for the labor to install them on my car?

[Skyler@Achtuning]

A 255-35-19 size would be correct for the B8 A4. We mount and balance the wheels and tires here before shipping so they'll be ready to bolt on the car as soon as they arrive :)

The 19" Hartmann HRS4-252s are very close to the OEM 19" B7 RS4 style wheels that Audi used on the A4 and S4s.

[victoorious]

thanks again, one last question. Promise :) haha. im kind of confused on the color finish, which one is equilivant to OEM. Hyper Silver?

[ccomengee86]

^yes

[Skyler@Achtuning]

The OEM RS4 wheels are made in Titanium (dark grey) as well as a Silver finish. The Hartmanns are available in 5 finishes.

-A Anthracite, which is a bit darker than the OEM titanium finish.


-HB Hyper Black which is a black basecoat and hyper silver topcoat giving a smoked silver finish that can look gunmetal in low light or bright silver on a sunny day.


-HS Hyper Silver which is bright silver.


-MA Machined Anthracite, our Anthracite finish with the face of the spokes and lip machined to bright aluminum before the wheels is clearcoated.


-B Semi-gloss black powdercoat (available soon, no picture yet)

shoot, now im back to confused haha. so is OEM more simular to Hyper Black or Hyper Silver?

[Skyler@Achtuning]

The OEM finish is closest to Hyper Silver, currently we have our -HS wheels in stock in 20" and 22" only with 19" available in about 8-10 weeks.

coo no worries. I ordered my car and its not coming till the first week of June, so this is perfect. Thanks again!

I've got the Hartmann HRS4 - 252-HS 20" wheels on my car. After having them on my car for just over 4 months now, I can tell you that these are quality wheels. I've hit some pretty good size pot holes, you can't dodge them all, and these wheels are still perfect.

BTW- Get the 20's!
