Default Need help finding RS4 wheels!

I'm looking for OE RS4 wheels, not knock offs. I am definitely not paying Audi $3500 for them. Does anyone have any good leads on where I can get some? I've already been in contact with Wheel Collision Center, they don't have any right now.

Thanks!

Default Good luck. Lots of good replicas out there. But real deals, try VW Vortex.com. There....

might be some under Audi classifieds, but look in VW as well. You just never know. Or take a stab at ebay too.

Default Do a Google search...

Wheels-and-rims.com may be one source. About $253- $300 each. Not sure if they are new or remanufactured.

There used to be some on VW Vortex when ALMS type cars were updated by owners, but that has pretty much dried up since they are 2002 models.

You may be able to negotiate a 10% to 15% discount with the Parts Manager at your Audi dealer, depending upon how receptive he might be.

Otherwise settle for Replicas from Achtuning or Hartmann wheels. Many are satisfied with them.

Default Actually they only have 19" in old style...

Replicas with the 43mm wide spokes and when those are gone, there are no replacements. The Wheel Exchange supplier has changed design to the tapered spoke. The 18" OEM Audi spokes were not tapered, so the new design that The Wheel Exchange and Lakeshore Wheel show on eBay is not authentic OEM style.
