Default How hard is it to get original RS4 19" wheels?

Just found out that my rims aren't properly round any more, and that's causing a bit of steering judder at speeds over 160 km/h.

I've spent the last couple of days looking through different wheel combos on the Sprint Blue from AW, AudiZine and other forums and have ultimately come back to the 19" stock rims

Question:

1. what do the originals cost?
2. are there any reps (I live in a place with pretty bad roads) that do not require spacers (what offset would be right?) and what do they cost?

Easy to obtain. Do a search. Cost around $400 +/-. No good replica options.

Default Riverside Audi have the best pricing I've seen...

especially if you're an ACNA member - they give a member discount.

Default Considering reps from hartmann 260/piece for new B8 A4 why shouldn't I?

Never bought aftermarket wheels and I was wondering what are the dangers going with the reps? Are they really substandard quality? Keep in mind I'm not in RS4 $ bracket so price is important for me.

Default Will have to do that. Am based in Dubai

and no, contrary to what many people believe of the ME, it's not a vulgar place. In fact, it's very much like Singapore in many ways.

I digress - USD399/USD400 per pc sounds like a fair price, and I'd spring for it if I can get a shipping quote to Dubai. Since you guys have a shop, I can get one of the local dealers here to place the order on my behalf

To Vijay, Wish, Nicht ein A4 and Northshore, thanks for the leads. I'll try to follow up
