Default RS4 Replica Wheels Questions

27 lbs. - is that little too heave?
Anyone selling them on the East Coast, or is Achtuning the best spot to get these?
Still deciding 17 or 18 for NYC roads.

Let me know what you think. BYW, my second choice is chaper EdgeRacing LEX wheel.

Default 27 lbs is heavy by aftermarket standards, you can do much better (weight-wise) ...

But that's close to OE Avus weight (27-28 lbs depending on who you ask), so it's not detrimental.

Default Re: RS4 Replica Wheels Questions

WheelExchange in NC has them (18x8) for $749 ($830 when you throw in OEM caps like ACH). Do note that they're ET30, which pushes them a bit further out than the ET35. Other than the offset and price, IMO there's no difference. We can talk about differences in "quality" all day long, but until someone lines them up and does some testing--it's all hearsay. And yes, 27lbs is on the porky side.....whatever makes you happy though. Good luck!
