They're 18" RUF wheels, and I happen to think that they'd look awesome on an A4. But I have no idea if the Porsche bolt pattern & offset is the same as the A4.
Is anybody up for PhotoShopping a set onto a black A4 for me?

No. IIRC Porsche hubs are 5x130 and has very low offset. H&R does have wheel adapters that'll
make them fit the Audi bolt pattern. However adding an adapter like that is like adding a really thick spacer and with the already low offset they'll stick out like crazy.

Are you sure those are not the MM replicas?
Those "Cup" wheels are replicas drilled for cars from other makers but they're not real Porsche wheels. Unless they're redrilled Porsche wheels. I would never put a redrilled wheel on my car.
They could be mounted with adapters but on the A4 significant work has to be done to the fender to avoid rubbing.

Now that you mention it, I've seen some too. Man, that RUF design would look so sharp on my car...
I wonder how much those things run? Probably a small fortune.

i'm thinking these wheels are gonna be pretty wide...
although i guess it's possible you could buy 2 sets of the fronts only. the rear ones HAVE to be fat...and phat...for the porsche.

Do you know which Porsche wheel?
I've seen many on VWVortex... the turbo wheels, cup1s, cup2s but all of them were replicas. You can't differentiate them by looking at them.
Like I said it's possible to do so but it would be much more cost effective just to get the replicas. Then again I doubt there are any replicas of the RUF wheels.
