Default Anyone here running OEM S8 RS4 wheels???

I was thinking of picking up a set, but they cost more than the Achtuning RS4 reps and I'm not sure they are any better. I remember hearing all kinds of bad things about the original RS4 wheels that may apply to these also??

Default wait......aren't S8 and RS4 wheels different?

the original RS4 wheels had issues from what i remember, but what audi currently produces in theat design doesn't have those issues.

Default Maybe he's referring to the RS4 style that was an option on the S8?

I dunno, just a guess :P

Default Exactly... the 03 S8 had the RS4 wheels as an option

instead of the 18" Avus wheels.

Default I really like the DTM's........very subtle wheel but still better than stock IMO

i would think by 2003 audi would have fixed their early issues with the RS4 wheels. Why not just buy reps from achtuning?
