Should be a good fit for the RS4. It is growing on me.

Default back to my reasoning criteria....

-do they look better than stock? IMHO, no.
-are they forged? no.
-are they *significantly* lighter than stock? not listed, but doubtful.

I think you have to meet at least one of those criteria for the wheels to be a 'buy'....and IMHO, these don't.

Having said that, I *like* the design, just not a real improvement over the RS4 wheel.

why would you want to run a more narrow than stock wheel?

They would look good, but probably not better than stock...

Default Along that style, OEM R8 wheels would be better IMO. 19x8.5, ET43 (spacer needed), 21 lbs.

Really?? Relax with the e-attitude.. Was just curious if there is a benefit for a more narrow wheel
