Okey Dokey so do we think the wheels in the release pics are 19s or 20s, i thought the black 5 spoke/arms would be the optional 20s? Yes/No

Looking at how they feel the arches and the profile of the rubber surely they are 20s?

Those wheels are the 19s I think. If you go on the German Audi website and configure the revised RS5 its got the same wheels. The 20s upgrade are the 5 spoke rotors in silver or titanium.

If fact looking at the options on the revised RS5 it has the same upgrades as the RS4. I guess its down to whether you need the practicality of an estate with the extra doors :?:

In reply to the "hope its better than the RS5" question, if you want to race round a track then there's better thing out there. If you want to drive down a road quickly then its hard to beat in my opinion. Take one out for a test drive and see for yourself and I wouldn't expect the RS4 to be alot different :)

Mmmm. That's what I thought, the black rotors for me I think, for me it's avant all the way stealth & practicality, dogs, mountain bike, golf trips ........... God I am getting old. Can't believe I said practicality :ban:

My point was that the new RS4 wheels look good and the spokes are particularly elegant and thin. Way thinner than anything else Audi has done before, which, indecently, is out of sorts on such a chunky car as the B8 RS4.

Hope its as good as the RS5 is cross country with just more space, although not as asthetically pleasing as the '5 ...... Won't be trading though ;)

Soz is not an acceptable form of apology, kiss my rings.

You must have mistaken me for someone who gives a FCUK what you think.

Is that what you regard as a bite back? Maybe you shouldn't be so self asssured on how you have me 'pegged'

Honestly does nothing for me, I know audi is usually understated in their styling but if didn't have an RS badge you wouldn't know what it was. Must be the RS-line version...

Wonder if the wheels will bend as easily as the ones on the first RS4? They look flimsy enough for it.

'Understatement' is what many, some or few RS drivers are all about.

A car that drives like a 'wolf' but may look like a sheep.

In owning an RS, I find It so re assuring to know that I have a competent, powerful, top of the range, versatile, safe & fun motorcar that does not look 'flash, posey or arrogant'.

So many cars have all the go faster extras, wide wheels, noisy exhausts, spoilers etc which IMHO makes no sense.
