Default Help please on wheel/tire choice . . . .

Anyone have any experience with O.E. Wheel Distributors? They sell on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Audi-A4-A6-A8-S4-S6-S8-V8-RS4-RS6-wheels-rims-silver_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43958QQitemZ8068 321063QQrdZ1

Guy says he will couple the wheel with a Nexen N3000 tire. I never heard of them. Also, he claims these wheels do not need spacers. Whole package: about $1,000. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Default whats the offset on the wheels?.......

they don't seem to list the offset on the description. Chances are you will need spacers to use on the allroad. I purchased my 18x8.5 RS6 replicas from Lakeshore wheel & tire for $749 shipped to my door. The finish on these wheels seems to be nicer than the Disc Tire RS6 replicas I purchased before on my previous allroad. I also purchased 15mm H&R spacers and 40mm lugs. I would have preferred the Hartmann spacers but they were out of stock. I tested the H&R spacers on my wheels and they fit nice and flush so it should work out.

I wouldn't buy Nexen brand tires - who knows what they are. Stick with a name brand and a specific tire which is known to be good based on testing and feedback. Go to TireRack.com and also 1010tires.com and read some reviews of tires. You will need a 245/45/18. I just bought the BF Goodrich KDW2 and a set of Voxx wheels in 20 offset from Discounttiredirect.com.

Good luck.
