Default Forged ones will be available soon I think. Quality of the current ones is good.

I have the 18" RS4 DTM reps from Hartmann and love them. No dents or bends yet here in Pothole City, NJ.

Sounds good. I think they're one of the best looking wheels on our cars. I'm getting the itch ;-)

Default i have the 19"rs4's real good quality for a cast wheel, it's a heavy *****.

the 19's look way better than the 18's on our car's imo. mine have held up great so far,but my road's are real nice.

Default Why would 19x8 rub any more than 18x8 with the same offset? It depends on the tire you run...

...among other things like the stiffness of your suspension, ride height, and extent of any fender rolling.
