Where can I get 18 inch S4 B6 reps from to fit my B5 S4?

Post by saf » Sun Mar 04, 2007 3:33 pm

Hi guys,

Been away for a bit.

Where can I get some B^ S4 reps from to fit my S4.

I want 18 inch size,.

These reps need to be able to accomodate the RS4 discs and rs6 calipers.

Ive been told that I will need a 3mm spacer to accomodate that brake setup, but im not sure if that varies on the manufacturer of the wheels or not.

So far I cant find anywhere that does reps. I know the Audi original B6 S wheels need a 10 mm spacer. I dont want to be putting a 10 mm spacer. 5mm or less will be just right.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

S4 Yogi,

Do you have a pic of them on your car? I dont think there the same as the B6 Avus alloys... these are more like the orginal B5 S4 Alloys.....

I have not seen anywhere doing B6/B7 Avus Reps..... yet! ;-)

Thanks guys.

Very very good find.

Much appreciated. Been busy and forgot all about the message I put up.

S4yogi , do your wheels have the design where the middle of the spoke sticks out or goes in? (To eliminate curbing problems I hope they go in)

Thanks again

Also do the ones you bought from there clear the RS6 calipers and RS4 B7 discs?

Hi the spokes go in. I think you need a 3mm spacer to clear the front rs6 brakes, I think SATAN has this setup on his car maybe he can help

Thanks mate

I hope that they are the same design as Satans setup. Just incase the spoe thickness might be different.

Ive tried many combinations with no luck. I guess 3mm spacers are fine. They dont pop out too much.

So if the spokes go in unlike the B5 ones, does that mean they pretty hard to curb the centre of the wheels, only the outside it prone to curbing. Going to be getting 235 40 18 profile.

Just making sure mate.

I went and bought some wheels off a guy that said they were RS6 reps. When I got home they didnt fit. Althought they were exactly the same wheels as Tarten rob used on his beast a while back, the spoke design were different. I guess its all about who makes them

I dont want to get home and then try the wheels on a car with the rs6 setup to find I have 4 giant peper weights. Not a good idea.

So for the third time im trying to find some wheels, I want to make sure all is well.

Yep - I've got B6 S4 replica wheels ... what are the offset of the versions you bought s4yogi? Mine are ET35, just wondered if the ones you got are the same ...

I contacted best wheels and tyres and been told they do the B6 wheels but only et45.

Then I was told that they do an ET35 after they did some checking but its called a double drilled wheel.

Is there any problems with having this kind of wheel and if I used a 3mm spacer, I shouldnt have a problem with the rs6 calipers right?

Thanks again

Yogi did you buy yours as a double drileld wheel (something about there being 10 bolt holes instead of 5)? The guy said to me that theres some notes on there in the last 4 weeks where someone had et 35's made or machined or something. Was that you?

Cheers

I think 'double-drilled' refers to the fact that it's a replica that has extra wheel nut holes drilled in to fit a variety of cars ... (or something like that)
