Each to their own..... you both seem to prefer OEM over replica, I assume that absolutely everything on your cars are OEM?

I am guessing the reps will have the advantage of the bore being the correct size for our cars ? When I considered a cheap set of original 19s I decided not to in the end due to the bother of getting the adaptor spacers made up for them as wasn't keen on a simple adaptor ring.

oem look nicer. yours reps arent the same shape.

if they looked oem i might be interested, but they dont, so i'm not.

its not snobbery, its asthetics.

just opinions bud, dont take offence

I'm guessing it's the side-on that's the giveaway? Honestly, I still can't tell the difference.

As said above...i think the gap bewteen tyre and wheelarch on the front wouldnt look so big with OEM wheels..

I,d prefer a branded wheel (BBS etc)or OEM as after market wheels personally but as siad above each to their own.

I think the originals are available in 9.5 or 10" widths (but dont quote me) and those look like 9" wide.

Maybe thats the difference on the concave, plus they're probably et35 as replica suppliers wont do them in et29.

Presume they cant be exactly the same for obvious reasons but each to their own i guess.

I love the RS6 design but prefer aftermarket rims just to be that little bit different......OE 19" RS4's in titan grey take some beating also!
