audi wheels
does anyone know if the 18" BBS or type RS4 wheels on the audi site that they sell for the A6 will fit on the S4?
I would love to get some 18's but want to keep the car looking like an Audi.

The RS4 wheel is ony available as a 17" unless...
...you get an actuall set of 18's off someones RS4 (but they are made of a different alloy and bend easy, read rs4.org). I have the 17" version, purchased last month from my dealer and love em (even at $2000/set).

That is not an 18" version your friend has. Its a 17...
just like mine. You can tell the difference as true RS4 18's have a different look to the spoke. I'll point it out in a second once I locate a good pic for reference.

Compare 17 VS 18 Picture
<img src="http://www.carbonlord.com/compare_wheels.jpg">
Basically, the 18's are more concave as the spoke length is longer and flares fatter at the end of the spokes. Look around for other angles or 18" RS 4 wheels and it becomes more apparent. Nenne's picture poster shows the box they came in with product # labled which is the same # as the 17" RS4 Type wheel I purchased from my Audi Dealership. If they are 18's, Id like to know where they came from and why they hold the 17" spoke design and product #?
