Glad we still make some of the best lightweight sportscar wheels in the world. Happy July 4th.

Sorry man, I'm not feeling it.

ack!

Ugh. That wins the award
 

Worst wheels on an RS4... make that any Audi!

Those look like crap, I rather put on teddy bear wheels

20 lbs, forged and not seen much since you hate them!
 

I am lovin life

At 20 lbs for an 18 inch wheel they are not that light.

Are those Fikses?

Agreed. The wheels are fugly, and here's the aesthetic problem.....
 

1. The center hub area has too much mass relative to the spokes. The wheels are all hub with these short little stubby spokes. This could be remedied by extending the spokes to the outer edge of the wheel like is done with the stock RS4 wheels. In fact this design element is a key feature in the stunning looks of the stock wheel.

2. The spacing of the spokes needs to be slightly wider at the rim relative to at the hub, or slighly narrower overall if the spacing is to be kept uniform from hub to rim.

3. The hub area itself is this big flat face, that looks like a pie-plate. Contrast that with the artfully sculpted aggressive inward taper of the stock wheel at the hub.

Honestly, it is very hard to do better than stock due to the combination of perfect design elements in the stock wheel combined with a relatively non-heavy weight for it's size and price.

Yes Fikse made in USA
 

How something looks is way down on my list

Custom offset is the main thing so I can
go with 275/35/18 and so many choices in tires
