Well 2 out of 3 will do :-)

All I can say for now is they're getting made exclusively for us from one of our manufacturers but none of the names mentioned by P_G.

Going to do them in proper RS offsets and looking into running a slightly lower offset to save owners running spacers for a wider stance.

Still awaiting our price but we need to order a minimum of 200 rims so any feedback positive or negative would be most helpful.

Cost wise.....they should be a less than other brands in the market but they wont be ultra lightweight like HRE's as going to be a low pressure casting but will be JWL and TUV approved to satisfy our European customers but will be nice and strong.

TBH I can't see any reason to change from the OE wheels.

Hence why i went BACK to OEM from the MTM Bimoto's.
OEM look perfectly fine and the drive is alot nicer!

i think if i wanted to change the look, i'd be doing the less obvious stuff, like spacers and coilovers...its all about the stance..

some of the cars in those shots and wearing coils and they look awesome...no gap between top of tyre to arch...

:lol: ..... you are right though sonny, well in my eyes anyway. Even the diamond cut 20" RS4 reps look naff. The only aftermarket ones I've seen on those pictures that look somewhwere near decent are the ones on the Sprint Blue Saloon sat next to the F-16 but even then I'm not convinced about polished rims.

Like said the C6 RS6 rims look great but are on just about every A6 and A5 variant in the showrooms now except for those with RS4 reps on and I'd like to see an RS4 with RS5 five spoke rims on it.

My favourite is the OEM wheels. Although I do like darker shades on it (titan, gunmetal, black etc).

There's no denying that the OEM rim looks great, but isnt that the point of modifying......to change from factory spec/look...?

C6 RS6 20" in titan grey look great too but not sure about those white rimmed deep dish jobbies - bit too bling for my liking.
Not seen many VMR rims on B7's and i think they're an affordable version on the HRE forged rims.

Beginning to wonder if there is much point in developing an alternative design rim as the feeling is OEM is the best option.

Any feedback on our sample rim shown would be much appreciated as we only want to offer something that owners are looking for.
