Does BBS make the S Line wheels? Those smart buggers have a lock because of 5 x 100's...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/20566/rs4wheel.1.jpg"></center><p>
I was checking out the AoA site for performance accessories and the RS4 wheels only come in 5x112 and 17x7.5. I'm assuming Audi is having the manufacturer make them special in 5x100 18x8 for the S line. I know the other wheels in the accessory brochere are BBS RS II's. Anyone know the manufacturer for the other light alloys? TIA

I guess they are being sold as "Type RS4 Wheels" via AoA....

"Alloy Wheels - Type RS4 Wheel 7.5" x 17"
These 17", nine-spoke alloy wheels are an exclusive offering designed by Audi AG's performance and tuning division, quattro GmbH. Features a durable silver finish and uses factory-fit wheel bolts. No adapters or additional wheel bolts are required. Center cap extra. Weight 8.707kg. (Each sold separately.)" Who builds quattro GmbH's design stuff? Anyone know? TIA.

OEM Audi wheels...Ronal makes the AVUS wheels for the S4 and (I think) the S8.

Speedline makes the S6 AVUS wheels. BBS makes the 17" sport wheel for the A6. Can't remember the stock wheels on my A4, but it was a Swedish firm I believe. Have to look at my A6 2.7T sport wheels to see who made them.

All made by the lowest bidder?
