Rim upgrade question
I've got a 2001 TT Roadster 225 with OEM rims. I've had my eye on the rims that came on the TT 3.2 S line as potential upgrades - are those RS4 rims?
Also, I found these at Lake Shore Wheel and Tire which seem to be pretty good RS4 knock-offs; can you see any differences?

Any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated.

visually the difference is the center cap>>>
but it looks fairly close overall there....just make sure you get them in 5X100 bolt pattern, and just watch offsets....
lastly, remember most reproductions are cheaper as they are typically a weaker casting and not all tolerances are TUV approved. Soft castings can lead to bent or broken rims....
other than that, you should be fine..

2nd on offsets...
I have a different brand of repos but they look the same. They are slightly wider than stock but have stock offset. The inner part of the wheel is VERY close to rubbing, so close that the small amount of weight that was added to the inner lip for balance was knocked off on the road test.
