Considering a set in 18" but I'm wondering about strength and finish after a few years. I STFA'd but only found a few pics. Comments?

Default I have the 17". So far, they have held up well.

I don't like the center cap. I have not found any oem Audi center cap that will fit, despite being told by SSP that there was one.

For the money, it's a very strong and well made well. S4MadMan approved.

Default They are great wheels. I have 2 sets. You can fit an Audi center cap...

Chris- Do you have a side shot of the Lola's? It's hard to see what the profile looks like.

Default Do you mean an oblique shot?

You can look through my picture poster (click on my user account number and click on the number of pictures in my pic poster). That's pretty much all I have.

Default Thanks.....

I checked those. You have some nice shots. I'm having a hard time figuring out if the spokes are curved (Like the RS4 reps)or straight/flat (like OEM)with the hub. Also, are the spokes rounded or square in profile? Is this one of those times where they look better in person than in pictures?
