These are all replicas of Porsche wheels. You can easily change the center cap to a Porsche one if you want. Like I said if the wheel you saw on the VW looks like these, then chances are they're likely a replica.

It certainly is possible to put the Ruf wheel on your A4 through either redrilling or an adaptor:

Like dbtong said, you could get the ones for the Porsche front wheel, probably 7.5 to 8.5 in width and put that on your car. If the ET is 35 or 30, with a adaptor like that, lets assume it's 10mm, then your ET will be 25 to 20mm. Your wheels will stick out and your fender has to be rolled and extended to prevent rubbing.

Default Re: do explain.

The spokes on the real Turbo wheels are thicker than that because they're hollow. Dude real Turbo wheels cost more than $1000 each, I doubt someone would buy the real ones when they can get replicas that look almost exactly like the real thing.

Default Like I said, you COULD do it with adaptors, but they will stick out a little.

Even some ET35 wheels rub depending on tire used so fender rolling is required.

Default OK I believe you =)

But it's not a direct fit. he probably used adaptors. Notice he has a wide body kit? So with the stock body those wheels are sticking way out because of the adaptors.
