$575 is the price for the Audi OEM RS4 wheel in either colour. The only difference is the wait time. The silver wheels are in their warehouse in Ontario and would be at the dealer in 2-3 days whereas the titanium wheels come from the US warehouse in 7-10 days. Didn't ask about the centre caps as they can be transferred over easily enough.

I think my mind is made up, though. I think I will get the Hartmann RS4 - DTM 18" reps for winter and refinish my OEM wheels for summer. Sakimano is right about looking too "blingy." The best part about the RS4 is the understated looks and those Work Varianza T1S wheels kind of work against that. That and the set of Hartmann B7 RS4 reps I had (on the 03 TT) were really well built wheels.

Thanks again for the input, guys!



I always forget to take pics after I wash her. Maybe I'll go wash it right now and take my camera. Let's start a new thread and get it made into a sticky under the S/RS forum. "S/RS Pictures with Winter Wheels." I promise that will be the only thing I post will be a picture of my car with the winters when they arrive!

Sakimano, are you even reading my posts? I asked you about that one the other day in this post (remember: red words are links):

Or were you just desperate for pictures of winter setups for your hijacked thread?

That wheel set for sale on AudiWorld is actually a slightly different wheel. The Hartmann RS4 131 has a lot less dish, used the old centre cap design and is discontinued. In my opinion, the Hartmann RS4 DTM rep looks a little more aggressive on the car.

That's the other cool thing about Hartmann wheels, they upload pictures of customer cars with the wheels installed. At the bottom of the description of each wheel description there is a link to "see this wheel on a car." (As highlighted in my picture.)



It's a great way to see most of their wheels on most applicable cars. If you order a set of their wheels and send in pictures, they will post the pic in their gallery and even send you a t-shirt! Maybe not that big of a deal, but I thought it was a cool idea.

sakimano

are you asking me to remember things from 2 days ago? I can ONLY handle one day at a time. Then I wipe the blackboard clean and move forward!

I just forgot, but since you pushed me...they (those old hartmanns) don't look good on a B7 RS4! Get 18" B7 RS4 reps for your winters. No brainer. SOMEONE must make some that fit nicely.

The car designers pick wheels that flow nicely with the car. I don't like mixing wheels from previous/next generation cars. Rule of thumb:

B5 wheels on B7 cars look bad
B7 wheels on B5 cars look bad

There...i said it. Whew.

Uh oh, you're picking fights now...and I am staying out of it! Good luck!

BTW, check out the wheels my 08 TT came with...

sakimano

nice. Are they 5x100 still? I bought some snow wheels from a guy last year. He said they were from an A4. They were 17" Avus reps. Anyway, turns out they were 5x100, not 5x112. Had to re-sell them on ebay.

5x112

WT???

Freespeech and diff opinions respected but pretty bold statement while posting only one pic

Obviously some combo's won't look good but but there are TONS of Audi's running cross platform and diff gen OE wheels that look GREAT!



















Some of them are even winters... and there's much more...
