Oops, I think I screwed up. I got ET35, I thought I was ordering stock offset
<center><img src="http://shop.achtuning.com/ProductImages/images/product_images_hartmann/HTMN_251-332_19_Angle.JPG"></center><p>I ordered some of these in 18" and I thought I was ordering stock offset but it seems they are ET35.
What is the effect going to be? Should I stick with them?
They have arrived and are sitting in my garage with Michelin PS2s on them waiting for mounting this weekend.
Also I'm not convinced about the Hypersilver color yet. The inside of the rim and sides of the spokes are much darker than I expected (considering what they look like in this picture) and what all the customer photos look like in Hartmann's gallery. But I'm waiting until I get them mounted and out in the sunlight before I pass judgement.

I think you'll be fine. It wont have any rubbing. If anything the wheels will line up nicely
with the edge of the fender.
Keep it... You'll like the hypersilver since it wont show brake dust quickly.
BTW. You have a very nice car!! I've always wanted a nogaro avant : )

Re: Is there no downside? Why didn't Audi use that offset in the first place?
My BBS CHs have the same offset. It gives the car a wider stance and makes it more aggressive from the front and rear. The downside is that more road schmutz gets deposited on the side of the car, expecially when the roads are wet.

OK OK I know I'm thinking too much but both of those have downsides
Labree is probably better made and therefore more $$$$, and is also louder which would put some people off.
GIAC increases the rev limit (= more warranty $$$$).
