Default OEM RS4 Wheels questions

Looking to pickup a set of real OEM RS4 wheels

Can someone confirm the following the specs about the wheels and OEM tires

Rim
8.5x19
ET 38
Is there an Audi logo on the wheel somewhere? If so where is it. I am looking at a set now and the guy can not find the logo to confirm for me if they are indeed OEM wheels.

Tires
245/35R19
OEM Brand?

Thanks

Stephen

Have him send you a photo of the inside hub of the wheel and post it here.

Default Pirelli P-Zero, Michelin PS2, or Conti SportContact3

There may be additional options in 2008. As Reggie said, post a photo of the inside of the hub - I have one somewhere but can't find at the moment.

Default I messed up posting in the S4 forum orginally

First post on this forum, still getting use to the setup.

Thanks for the information about the OEM RS4 wheels not fitting on the B7 S4 though. Is it a matter of them being to wide and the offset? I actually only have a 2.0T Quattro and I just like sticking to the OEM parts bin.

Default Forget about the actual RS4 wheels and go for the proper size RS4-look wheel for your car...

The RS4 wheels are too wide and have the wrong offset for a 2.0T. You would be better off buying the correct wheels from Audi for your car. Audi has OEM 7 double spoke wheels available for a variety of applications. The replicas from Hartmann are good quality wheels too and will save you lots of money. Also consider 18" wheels so the brakes don't look as small.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hartmannwheels.com/1-425-895-0000/wheels/Audi/1">http://www.hartmannwheels.com/1-425-895-0000/wheels/Audi/1</a</li></ul>
