Default SP1s are great wheels; and in the $600 range, I don't think you can find something better. But...

...I had them on order for 6 months and the importer could not deliver. So I cancelled.

Default It *should* fit. That's what the importer said. I had some on order for 6 months...

...they couldn't come through so I cancelled.

I'd love to see those wheels on an S4. :-D

Again, the fitment is fine, just concerned whether or not it would clear the S4 brakes, which they said will.

Default Yeah, the problem is getting that kinda lip.

I was seriously considering these wheels til I saw them on that V8 Lexus IS300. No lip, spokes stuck out. I'm not really sure what the offset and stuff was on that lexus was but it didnt look that good :\ Maybe its the reverse lip, who knows. Just didnt like em. :\

Some pics I took at the NY auto show.

The SP1 comes in many offsets. The one for the S4 did not have an aggressive lip. 1.50" lip.
