RS4 wheel choices

Post by alex_123_fra » Sat Dec 30, 2006 1:24 pm

Hi everyone,

Wondered if anyone knows how much (roughly) a set of 4 RS4 19'' wheels would be from an Audi dealer. I mean the 7 double spoke ones. Did a search but couldn't find the price. I've been looking on ebay and they sell them for around £400 without tyres, which I thought was a bit too cheap. Not even sure if the e-bay ones are genuine audi parts.

Not really sure whether to go for an RS4 with the 18s or the 19s. I do prefer the 19'' look but some of the cars coming up for sale have the 18s on with otherwise reasonably good options.

Anyone with 18s or 19s, I would be grateful if you offer some comments on how you find the ride/comfort/handling with your wheels.

Thanks :)

Alex

For the 19's the RS6 alloys are about £550 each so I would expect similar for the RS4; probably about £2000 for a set list price but you should beable to negotiate a discount of at least 20%

They are £458 each, excluding the radio valves, tyres or inserts or VAT, if that helps

Radio Valves ?
Does this mean Mr Kwik Fit will get confused ?
