Default Snow wheels + tires ordered today.

<center><img src="http://hartmannwheels.com/thumbnails/thumb_angle_131_replica_wheel.jpg"></center><p>18" Hartmann Replica B5 RS4 wheels with +20 offset (no spacers needed) and 255/40/18 Dunlop Winter Sport M3's.

Can't wait to rock em NYE week when I'm in tahoe for 7 days.

I'll post pics once they are on.

Default found this pics, narrowbody B7 with them

<center><img src="http://gallery.hartmannwheels.com/d/4448-5/18_RS4_06A4.jpg"></center><p>Doesn't look too bad. I went this route because its one of the only options that have the perfect 18" fit (won't sit in like +30 wheels) and won't need spacers. Also I think for winter wheels its a cool homage to the urRS4.

The RS wheels have ET20 -which is different for a A4 that's why I want to see them on a RS

yeah, if the "replica" is correct to the B5 RS4 wheel it should curve in @ ET20

Default 255s? Little wide for snow. 225s would work much better.

But if this is for cold winter roads, then 255s will be better.

Default True, but norcal roads are well plowed, and it keeps the perfect overall diameter

So the speedo stays accurate, etc..
