Searching for RS5 style rotor wheels
Hi guys - as my intro post says, I drive a bone stock 2011 S5 Cab in Toronto.
I'm looking to get into a set of RS5 style rotor wheels.
Ideally, if I can find a local guy looking to swap out his 19s (off an S5 titanium) or 20s (off an RS5), that would be great, but I'm not holding my breath.
Came across a local shop (Rennsportire.ca) which sells replicas on Kijiji. Sells 19s for $800 and 20s for $1000. He also says he can custom order the offset to avoid using spacers as I am looking for a flush look. Says these replicas are made in Canada, not China, are of high quality, and weigh the same as OEM.
Any thoughts on replicas in general, and any feedback specifically on this shop?
Also debating whether to get 19s and use my existing rubber (~24k on them) or bite the bullet and get 20s with new rubber.
This noob is interested in your thoughts...

i emailed the same place as i also notice the add on kijiji. i have not seen the wheels in person but im wondering if they have the save deep centers as the originals. im lookingto get 19 in fear of having a really rough ride with the 20.

Everyone I talk to says ride quality won't really change that much - you just have to be more careful with potholes, etc
I would love to get 20s, but the new rubber alone would be $2000+ and I'm not due for new rubber for a while

Love the look but I'm not crazy about 19" with et38 requiring 5mm spacers - I'm looking for a more aggressive stance
