    Help sourcing a wheel.

    I've had a slow leak on this for a couple years. Suddenly it now goes flat within an hour or so. Tire place says I have a crack though I can't find where.

    Regardless I'm trying to find a single replacement for this replica. It's an 18x8 offset 35mm. I have found a couple that look similar but are 43mm or does not list. I have done searches for b5 rs4 replica, b6 ultrasport. Any other keywords I could try? There are not any real markings on the wheel so I'm not sure who made it.

    Other option would be to dig up the oem 17s and buy a new set of tires.

    Thanks!

    With an offset of 35, that's an aftermarket replica of the USP wheel. The OEM version uses the offset of 43.

    Hartmann wheels are the best known replica wheels for Audis. Looks like the true replica is no longer made by them, so you'll have to see if anyone has a used set you can pick up.

    Google alloy wheel repair. There are plenty of companies out there that can easily fix your wheel.

    I have a set of [almost] the same wheels. Aftermarket RS4 reps, 18x8 ET30:



    Unfortunately I only have the 4. I find that they bend kind of easily. I have created a 'machine of my own design' to remove the bends and get the runout back into spec. I shoot for within .030" runout. I haven't had any crack, though.

    Thank you all so much. I am going to give a wheel repair shop a call in the morning (did not know that was possible), and if that's cost prohibitive, then I will just buy the Ebay link. All my wheels are kinda dirty and scuffed at this point it would look funny to add a shiny new wheel.
