O E Wheel Distributors

I found this company on Ebay and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them +/-? I am considering RS4 rims on a B7 A4.

Thanks for your help.

I just ordered from them

I have a silver A6 4.2 , 2003, and ordered the RS4 replicas in Hypersilver. They came as promised with centercaps included as in the pictures, finish on rims is great. I haven't mounted them yet but hope to have them on in the next 2 weeks. Quality looks great and they delivered within 7 business days.

The only thing I a worried about is that they are too soft. We have a lot of potholes here in Wisconsin and I'm worried they may bend...we'll see. I'm going with 255/40 18's on mine.

"CPU77" on this message board just ordered from them too and he seemed happy, I'm still waiting for him to post pictures.

I'll post pics as soon as I have them installed. Hope this helps

Re: I just ordered from them

Thanks for the feedback. That is good to hear. I am also looking at the hyper silver but I am having a hard time deciphering the difference between them and the regular silver RS4's? Are the hyper's a darker silver?

Thanks.

Re: I just ordered from them

Hypersilver is definitely darker than the "original audi silver color". I like the finish on the Hypersilver, it is hard to describe the finish. Almost a cross between a polished rim finish and a gunmetal finish, but definitely lighter than gunmetal color choice. If you have seen "anthracite" color rims, hypersilver is inbetween that color and light silver. I'll post pics in a couple of weeks.

Dont expect many replies from anyone else here. For some reason, everyone bad mouths them and their product even though they have no evidence to back up their claim. I asked the same question as you a month or so ago and didn't get any valuable info from anyone. Good luck. Rick

The evidence involves negative feedback from the better business bureau and as they say, you get what you pay for

Just ordered the same thing

I ordered the the hypersilver b7 rs4 replicas in hyper silver as well. When they came I still thought they looked very light silver, didn't match the pics too good. But I just thought it was the lighting or something. I called to make sure they would fit my 01 s4 (before ordering), they said absolutly. Well they don't even come close to fitting. Of course I didn't check until after the tires were mounted. They will need to have about 15mm spacers at least to clear the brake calipers. I don't know what to do about that.
