anybody running Kahn wheels on their RS4? I think they do a few wheels which would look really good on the B5.

I personally wouldn't use Kahn wheels on a heavy car like the RS, as I've heard Kahn wheels buckle easily, and the quality ain't all that.

Just my 2p's worth

Virdee what about the Kahn wheels which are featured with the Range Rovers? I think they are 20". The wheel would have to be pretty strong to support those buses! :)

I suppose so, but from what I've heard these wheels were made from poor quality materials, and hence the bad quality

Whether this has been rectified now, i'm not sure.

All my point is, that if the "hard type" wheels buckle on our cars which are OEM stuff, then an aftermarket wheel should be of superior quality to use on an RS4, as otherwise it "will" more than likely buckle. Plus if you do go the 19" route, then 30 profile tyers don't help!
