Default Aftermarket Wheel Selection

I looked at a few wheels for the RS4. First Volks TE 37 nice light wheel, but don't like the red stripe, I have yet to see one without it and it cost about 700 per wheel. Next the HRE P 40 what can I say great looking wheel, but 5600 a set, think not. Last I asked to see something cheaper I was shown the Neuspeed RS10 wheel, I told the store owner I was looking for a cheaper wheel not a cheap looking wheel. While it was cheap you do get what you pay for. I thought the finish was horrible and all those spokes can you say Fugly. What I comes down to is leave the stock wheel cause you are going to pay a lot of money or you are going to buy something that does not come close to the OEM wheel. This MOD I will not undertake.

Default I have found the same thing in my search

Finding a moderatly price wheel that looks fitting on the RS4 is a very difficult challenge. After speaking with Hartmann Wheels a few times, and hanging up frustrated each time, I think I'm just going to get a set of stocks as well.

Does anybody know if an 18" "stock" wheel will fit over the breaks?
I'm planning on using these wheels for the track during the summer, and with snow rubber during the winter.

The 18" replicas will fit with 20mm spacers.

Default The whole thought of having to use spacers is not something I want to worry about

Which begs the questions...

Which 18" wheels do fit over the brakes without spacers?

Default B5 RS4 reps fit without spacers. As of now that is what I will be using for my winter wheel setup.

I really wanted the 18" reps but like you I don't want to deal with spacers.

Default I think you can get allroad or RS6 fitments to work with out spacers since they are

are a lower offset that pushes the wheel out to the edge more.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rs4b7/msgs/18433.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/rs4b7/msgs/18433.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default It's just for looks...

All 4 wheels are 19x9, but the offsets are different (24 vs. 26) allowing the rears to have a larger lip then the fronts.
