Default RS4 with BBS CH winter wheels

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/35183/rs4_1.jpg"></center><p>If anyone's interested, this is my winter setup - BBS CH 18 x 8.5 with Dunlop M3 255/40/18's. Still prefer the stock rims, but I wanted a bit more sidewall protection from potholes in winter.

It's not a great photo, but I only had my cell phone with me, so took the rare opportunity to capture the car on one of the rare days when it isn't covered in salt etc.

Default Those are CKs, not CHs.... I am running some CKs right now also

Are you running the 12mm spacers that tirerack sells? They said they don't fit without spacers, but that is incorrect as I'm running them without. They tuck a bit under the large fender flares, but they work while my OEM wheels are getting refinished.

They're CH's...it's not a great photo I realize, but they're a little different to the CK (CH factory photo above).

I am running the 12 mm spacers.

BTW, just read that BBS filed for insolvency this week.

Cheers,

Looks great. Did you paint the rear diffuser?

Thanks. I haven't painted the rear diffuser. The light in the photo is deceptive.

Default Ah, my bad....

In your picture they really do look like CKs. Although there isn't that much difference between the two wheels.

Are they flush with the fenders with the 12mm spacers? Any steering wheel vibrations?

Anthony,

You're right...very similar design. They are pretty much flush with the fenders. If you want to see this I can try to take a better photo - let me know.

I'm not experiencing any steering vibration at all.
