Not seen them on bluey before. When I was looking for pics all I found was a white avant and 2 grey saloons. Obviously you can add mine to the list now.

Not sure if they're 20", but this shows the rotors on a blue avant.

Ok, actually now I look at it they to look a little bigger. I'll blame my small iPhone screen
Which model are they off to get 20's in that style ?

They look more like 19s and more importantly they don't have the right offset for an RS4 so are much less concave.
The RS5 Rotors (ET26) have the smallest amount of clearance on the front calipers. It is so close as I was turning the wheel (by hand) to check I actually thought it was going to clip them.

As the centre bore of the A5/RS5 is bigger than the size of the B7 one, a wheel made for the A5/RS5 will have a bigger hole in the centre of the wheel. This means you can still use an Rs5 wheel on a B7 but if you don't fit it dead centre you will get vibration at speed. But, if you get a spigot it basically makes the hole in the wheel a bit smaller so it is a snug fit on the RS4 hub.
Very cheap and easy to fit. You have 2 choices either the plastic versions or the metal ones. I bought both but the metal ones were too tight and would have needed hammeringto make them fit. I clearly didn't want to start hammering the wheel, so I ended up using the plastic ones. They fitted no problems.
Metal ones:

They look better than the metal ones I bought, but I'd still stick with plastic.

As you can see the plastic ones are a fiver and they actually work really well.
FYI The RS4 centre bore size is 57.1mm and the Rs5 is 66.6mm.
