Default newbie!

Hey guys!! This is my first post here on this site. I was just wondering if the RS4 seven spoke rims are compatible to the 08 TT? Interested in putting them on. Anyone selling them?

Welcome, and enjoy your new ride!

The OEM Audi RS4 seven split spoke rim will not work with your car. The size and offset on that wheel 9x19 ET29. The 19" OEM size and offset for your TT is 9x19 ET52.

If you are interested in that wheel it is actually offered by Audi as part of the S Line package (part # 8J0 601 025 8N). They are about $500 per wheel up here in Canada but I have heard under $400 in the US. They are pretty decent for 19" wheels at 27.6 lbs and look amazing on this car...as seen here: https://www.audiforum.ca/audi-owner-...tro-3-2-a.html

The other option is to get a set of replicas from Hartmann. They offer some of the only Italian made Audi OEM replica out there. Beautiful wheels and amazing quality.

Either way, good luck and again, enjoy the car!

Really? I went to a website and they had them. It said it was compatible but now I don't know. Another person also suggested I get those and I saw a pic of a TT with what looked like the rs4 rims. Man, those are nice too!

Those are not Audi OEM RS4 wheels. Often people refer to that seven split spoke design as the "RS4 wheel." It first appeared on the RS4 but has since been adapted by Audi and replica wheel makers to fit other cars.

On the 08 TT those seven split spoke design wheels are included in the S-Line package. Have a look at the link I provided (click on the red words.) It's the car I used to own. They are the same design as the RS4 wheel, but the offset is drastically different.

The Hartmann link (click on the red words) I also provided has a few RS4 replica wheels that also look exactly like the OEM wheels in several offsets for different cars.

You have a few options on getting the seven split spoke wheel design (that started on the RS4) on your car.
