Default s4 with 18" Sportec Monos?

I have seen quite a few pictures of S4's with 19" mono's, but does anyone have any pics of an S4 with the 18" configuration??

Default Just FYI I hear that's a very heavy wheel...they do look damn good...but sooo heavy :-(

The S4 doesn't need anymore weight, DOH ;-)

yeah, i guess you just have to question basically wether the car is for just street use or is it your track car as well? if its street only, then basically, i say get what you like asthetically, a few lbs (i'm not sayin put giovanna chrome 20s on there) for the wheels isn't going to make a big difference... plus going with a slightly heavier, beefier wheel might save you from bent wheels later.

Default Just to clarify on the weights of the wheels----------->

The Sportec wheels weigh as follows

18x8.5 26lbs (2lbs lighter than stock avus)
19x8.5 29lbs (1lb heaver than stock avus).

Ok if your looking for ~20lb wheels then these are not for you but if your rolling on stock then the difference is not noticeable.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edgeracing.com">Edge Racing</a></li></ul>

Default Do these wheels use plastic hubcentric rings, or are they metal?

Or better yet, are machined specifically for the A4/S4?
