Who still carries B5 RS4 replica's?
Trying to find this wheel, and it looks as if Hartmann no longer sells it. Anyone know of a distributor for this rep?
Thanks
Thanks

I got mine by typing RS4 replica rims into google. Paid something like $700 for the whole set shipped. Can't remember the name of the site but they stocked all kinds of reps - a big operation with good, quick service. Be aware that most non hartmann RS4 reps will not clear the stock front break calipers. You will need to get some wheel spacers as well.

Called Hartmann
Apparently the Italian manufacturer that carried that mold went out of business, and ultimately took the mold with them. So now the question becomes do I try and find another source (Chinese/Taiwanese "quality")?

So here is my dilema: Do I go with the 18" B5 RS4 reps (finish line wheel), or do I go with the Hyper Silver 18" VMR 708's (B7 RS4 reps)? I'm really torn here. Going on a Silver S, with a 30-60mm drop.
I hear so many raves about the VMR reps.
Any opinions are appreciated!

Hands down, B5 RS4 reps. I just got my Italian-made set refinished/repaired and will sport them this summer. Are all the ones on eBay made in China/Taiwan?? I know Discount Tire Direct sells a rep set. GL.
