Default RS4 rims versus Replica RS4 rims?

Besides the obvious price differential and some minor physical differences. . . are there any setbacks to buying a set of 18" Replica RS4 rims? Will they fit on a 1998 A4 1.8T quattro? Does anyone have a pic of these 18 inchers on a pearl white a4? Thanks.

Default Heavy, but strong. They will fit. Here's mine on my Silver...

They weigh 27 pounds each, same as 17" S4 Avus wheels.

I assume you are looking at the ones from Achtuning.com...they are great. And if there's any wheel that can get away with a wheel gap, it is the RS4 replicas.

Default 18's...I paid a little less than what Achtuning charges because I bought Stoptechs at the same time.

They are $995 for 4 from <a href="http://achtuning.com">Achtuning</a>
