Default do we know for a fact that the RS4 brakes are identical to the C5 RS6? need some wheel opinions....
I've always liked the BBS RGR, and noticed on tirerack.com that they have an available 19x8.5" fitment for the RS6, but NOT for the RS4. Is this simply an offset issue that could be addressed with an 8mm spacer?

car goes in Monday to check my wobbly stock wheels, so I'm doing some prospective shopping...

any thoughts on the <a href="http://www.ravspeconline.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=198_276_568&products_id=740 ">Work Euroline XR</a>? anyone know if this available in custom bolt patterns?

Default Calipers are the same dimensionally, hat section of the disc is different
you could buy one wheel and test fit without mounting a tire. If it doesnt fit, return it.

Are the Work wheels forged? Lightweight?

yeah...little too much bling in that particular example, but I'm sure they do other finishes.
