there are always owners who want something different and have their RS4s sitting in their garage after chnaging out their wheels.... I love the RS4s as well!

About 60% off retail. But (edited)...>>>.
I ended up having all 4 refinished which wasn't cheap. Only one wheel really needed it....
Hang in there - I was chatting with 4 other owners who were considering selling their OEM RS4s!

OEM TT RS4 type wheels are hard to find. And they are expensive...>>>
Personally, I like the Hartmann or Achtuning Replica because the reveal at the edge of the spokes does not go all the way around the spoke opening. Easier cleaning than OEM and a better look IMO.
As far as quality, OEM and Replicas are both cast wheels and both can bend on potholes if shod with 225/40x18" tires. I run mine with 225/45x18" BFG KDW 2 because of extra sidewall depth and reinforced sidewalls.
My recommendation would be to get Hartmann Replicas and have more sidewall and reinforced sidewall tires for your application.

As you can see I'm in Massachusetts and the Roads are horrible
I travel 495 to work each day and have to be very careful even changing lanes as the paint they used to stripe the lanes ate the asphalt and created a strip of potholes in whole sections of the road. I have had great luck with no dings, dents, or scrapes even having slammed into these holes a few times in the dark. These are well made wheels IMO.
