Default well, they are italian made, but no mention of actual manufacturer

the price is very reasonable, pretty much any basic rim will be fine for a daily driver. If you are looking for performance, I would look for other options. At that price, you really can't go wrong, especially since you won't need spacers with this set up. That saves a bit more.

I say, go for it if you are not wanting a performance rim...as these would be pretty heavy, but that is just a guess. The will look awesome as this is my favorite set of rims for the allroad, and I had a similar set on mine.

Default Re: My concern would be the width of 7.5"

Might be a bit narrow for a 245/45/18 tire. I run 8.5" wide which to me seems to be the better fit. But as what has be stated for a every day wheel it should be OK

Default 18x7.5 is OK. That is what the stock 4.2 wheels are.

As well as the OEM RS6 wheels (18x7.5 ET20) which I'm running now.

Re: I agree that 7.5 is OK. I still think it's a bit narrow for a 245 tire, just my opinion

Not sure if I've seen an 8.5" wheel on a 245 tire. Does it have the "stretched" look?

Default Re: They fit the wheel real nice

Default Never heard of supplier. Correct width and offset to match OE, but would be

afraid of the unknown quality.

Default Here's an 18x7.5 et20 alternative for less money and a known quality...

ATItalia S5 from TireRack on special for $139 each last time I checked. I got a set for my snow for this coming winter.

Re: Wished I could get a set of 17s at that price so I could dump the dual spokes for winter
