Default Single Piece Forged test wheels are here... (EDITED, WEIGHT)

Just like our Signature Series like of A3 and A4's we will be doing some RS4 wheel fitments as well with Volk. These are a single pieced forged 19x10.5" wheel which weighs in at a paltry 19.9lbs. (Note that the center of the wheel is usually finished in an alu color, however they can be had in the black as well, gun metal as well)

We will be doing some test fitment shortly and then checking on tire size fitment as well. So stay tuned!

Cheers!

Default What is the weight of the stock wheel? 26 lbs doesn't seem like much of a weight savings to me?

S4s 18" Avus wheels weigh in at a hefty 28 lbs. I would expect 19"ers to weigh more.

Default Keep us informed with the fitment...

I spent some time with my engineers and we have some worries about a few things in the front regarding clearances and full steering lock. Considering backing off to a 9.5 or 10 to be safe. Also judged the 295 to be just a bit too much tire for the chassis, with 275 being the ideal.

10.5" = potential for what, 295 tires? What is the offset?

Default The 19x10.5" Volk wheel above rings in at 19.9lbs...

I must have grabbed the stock wheel weight from the sheet, but I just went out and weighed the wheel to confirm, comes in at 19.9lbs.

Cheers,
