I've seen the old shape rs6 alloys on a b6 s4 but I telly love the 19" 5 spokes on the new rs6. Iras just wondering:
A - do they fit straight on or will they need mods?
B - if anyone has tried them on an s4, how does it ride compared with the standard avus 18's?
Cheers
Stu

Wow they look great! But the rs4 is wider than the s4 so still not sure if they fit.
Great pic though!

you can get 8" wide reps they will fit

Then you tell them the specs you want and they finish them. 9x19 ET 41 would be the same as mine
So if they are 8 inch wide you could spec the offset to bring them out of the wheel wells

But I was looking at OEM ones on eBay. They're going for about £130 a wheel, so I was just going to buy one when it cam up until I got 4!
Will they make the car handle like a pig?

No it'll handle fine. What specs are OE ones?

Not sure exacty but I know theyre 19s. I've seen a red s4 on eBay with the old rs6s and it looked a bit raised off the floor like an Orion ghia with 17s on...

The width and offset is the important bit. If you find out, you can work out if they fit or not

OK I found the spec of the genuine wheels:
9Jx19H2, ET33
Does that make any sense to any body?! I know it's 9 inches wide by 19 inches diameter. But what is the ET32 and will that be compatible with the standard S4?

I wouldn't fancy that. That'll push them just outside of the arches. Mine are 19x9 ET41 and they sit completely flush to the arch. ET33 will push them 8mm further out so you find the tyres would scrub on the arch lips, passengers would be out, as would stuff in the boot haha
ET is the position of the wheels mounting surface in relation to the front and rear of the wheel. The higher the ET the closer to the front of the wheel the mounting surface is

damn! I don't want reps! Oh well i might just have to get the sand paper out and thin then down to an et41...

actually this offset calculator was useful. I'm 25 mm out by the looks of things...
