Anyone know if the replica RS4 wheels from Wheel Exchange are stronger than OEM ones?

Default They don't fit the S4...
in case you were thinking of purchasing them for an S4.

The new RS4 style rims are not soft/easily bend anymore like the original RS4 wheels.

Default You sure about that?
I thought these were the same ones AchTuning was selling for the S4.

5*112 will fit, cause those fit A4s too. But I think oem RS4 style rims are better then replica's.

Yep, I called them. They don't clear the brakes.

You sure? Josh has them on his S4 with the 355mmStop-Tech front brakes.

I have a S4 with RS4 replica rims from performance alloys.com. They are 18x8.5 I only payed about 1100 dollars. Audi wants around 770 dollars for 18x8 in same rim. My rims are not perfect but for the price they great.
