RS4 Wheels

I just picked up my '05 daily driver S4 last Friday and am already looking for some wheels.

I love the look of the 19" RS4, but was wondering if the flared fender of the RS contributes to the look of the wheels....any thoughts/opinions on how they would suit an S4 Cab?

Hartmann has several replica RS-4 wheels, both cast and forged. I ran a set of their forged wheels on both my 2005.5 and 2006 B7 S4's. Super build quality, no run out, perfect balance and absolutely awesome looks. The RS-4 wheel will not fit the S4 due to a significant difference in the offset, so the Hartmann replica is the best alternative.

Offset will not work on your car... skip on the replicas you'll be bending wheels left and right

ABSOLUTELY WRONG with regards to bending, the forge replicas are as strong or stronger than OEM.

Check out Oettinger and Abt Sportsline. But I would also agree and say the RS4 is an awesome looking wheel.

I have had a few sets of Hartmann Wheels, I would suggest checking out there site, or calling Bill and get his input. I had there B5 RS4 wheels (19") on my 05 S4 and loved them, I drove over a number of pot holes and never had a problem with bending wheels.

Here is a picture of my S4, I lowered it with H&R Springs.
