finding a wheel that will clear my front brakes
I'm really wanting to give my A4 a bit of a facelift. I am having a real b*tch of a time finding anything that will clear my current 14.5" rotor Alcon brake setup.
I really like the 19" Moven RG5's in Black:

Here is my car currently with the RS4 DTM 19" wheels and my Alcon Brake setup:

I have a fairly agressive drop as well with my coilovers and can't put a spacer on the front wheels because I'll hit my fender.
Ideally, I would love to have a staggered setup with the front lip as small as possible with the rear in around a 2.5" lip. I noticed on the website it listed a 2.5" lip. I'm checking in to see if they have a smaller (around 1.5") lip in the front.
I'll be sending off an email to Stasis and Moven to get the offset information but wanted to check in here first to see if there's anything that I could be forgetting.
I just don't want to repeat a situation I went through a month ago when I bought a used set of Iforged Senecas only to put them on the car and hit my caliper. I was so disapointed...
Thank you for your responses..

No, my point was that those look like the Hamanns. I think a mesh wheels look nice.
Also those look far from an Oetty wheel. Time to get your eyes checked. You have a BMW so why dont you go play with the yuppies in their forums that think they can buy a "used" 2007 RS4.... nuff said.

yeah...you're right, I need my eyes checked. There are no similarities.
You can't only put 5 spokes in the same place...
not really sure where you were going with the used 07 RS4 comment, but I guess it's just like you yuppie Audi drivers that think you can buy a chip that won't void your warranty.
