18" RS4 wheels Genuine/Copy's

Post by S3MUD » Tue Oct 21, 2003 2:00 pm

Hi All,

Notice most of you have 18" RS4 wheels.. Are they Genuine or copy's? I checked them out at Audi at the weekend. Over £500 per corner not including tyres!! Whoah.... [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]
Got to be the youngest here?

Afternoon,

I've got genuine ones but didn't pay anything like that [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
The general consensus is to get the replicas with genuine centre caps. There are numerous places to buy them and I'm sure someone will recommend AmD or alike.

Cheers

Ben

Audi 18" RS4 wheeels will not fit on an S3 the wheel bolt PCD is difference. Replicas will fit.
I think you'l find most people fit 18" RSTT wheels. These are what are fitted to the TT. Audi & replicas will both fit on an S3.
The RS4 & RSTT are different but only slightly. The bead that runs down the outside of the spoke stops half way on the RS4 wheels, but continues to the centre on the RSTT wheels.
If you buy RSTT replicas make sure they are able to except the Audi centre cap, the cheaper copies do not.
I got mine from AmD, I managed to strike a good deal £1114 for the 18" RSTT fitted with Goodyear Eagle GSD3 tyres (225 x 40) and Audi centres. (All fitted naturally) The wheels are of a good standard and your unable to tell they are replicas!!

Hope this helps

I have 19,000kms on my original set of tyres... There would be about 60% thread left in them.. Had the tyres filled with nitrogen today and the guy commented for a extremely soft tyre, he had never seen anyone have so much tread left after so many kilometers [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think i'm a RIZ WANNABE!!!
