anyone with a mind and skills to mock up th RS4 with other alloys say BBS CR I Vossens VFS 1 and any otheres you can be bothered with
as i really want the carbon edition alloys but i dont want the carbon edition stuff so in the unlikely event that Audi offer them on there own im looking for alternatives
thanks in advance

I can't be bothered to go through all aftermarket wheels, as it takes me a little time to do just one. If there's specific ones you've whittled it down to, then I'll happily give it a bash though.
Here's the Vossen VFS1 for example:

Yes, historically their wheels are horrific looking. Quite a few distributers are listed in the UK, guess the nearest to your neck of the woods is Glasgow Audis bodyshop.
Looking a little deeper, they appear to be supplied with some H&R spacers. From the product code it looks to be 30mm (15mm per side) and I'd also wager that the Nardo one is on their (KW) coilover kit.

had a look on there site they do them in 9 20" et33 and yes the say come with wheel spacer set HR30556645665-8
on will they fit they difference is
Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 7mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 7mm less than before.
assuming the standard allloys 9 20" et26 like the B8

Generally I don't like these wheels and didn't they no they worked on the B8 until I actually saw this car in the flesh (or metal if the grammar police are watching). They actually work really well.

don't you think we will be able to buy the milled alloys from the parts department?
