Very nice bud! look forward to the installed pics… glad you stayed 19 inch… 20lbs would be awesome especially at 9.5

#3

idk if i believe a true 20lbs flat but they are light, id still be happy at 21.5 anything more il be annoyed lol

#4

Wow those are beautiful. The steps in the lip make it look like it has a large lip

#5

really? I was quite happpy to see no lip. Looks pretty flush.

What are their specs richi?

#6

I know there’s no lip. The design of the steps between the two spokes makes the wheel look deep and concove

#7

Dude those are way naughty!

#8

The things I would do to those wheels! ;D

I have been hopelessly searching for an option that is under 20 lbs and would work on both my mk5 and my s4 for drag/autox/track wheels. Never going to happen though i think :’(

Those are damn seksy!

#9

not at 19 unless you go mg

18 is very doable though

#10

they look sweet. I like the color choice too, classic. I would’ve guessed a black or gunmetal finish.

#11

i was going for a classic OEM+ modified look and felt these wheels came really close to what i wanted. i was also looking at the ADV. RsQ wheels but thought whats the point of spending that much on a wheel that is modeled after my factory wheels. i already went the black route too and wanted something with a little pop, i grew very tired of black wheels on this car and couldn’t wait to get rid of the BBS. ill have some test fit shots tomorrow. really hoping these will clear the front brakes, i would hate to have to run spacers but will if i have to, im not waiting another 2+ months

#12

So after a frustrating day of cursing and swearing, the wheels don’t fit… >:( so back to HRE they go. It took 8mm of spacer just to clear the brakes and I was barley able to slide my nail between the caliper and wheel. In the picture we put 2 5mm spacers just to play with and see how much would need to be done but with a comfortable brake clearance the wheels poke way to much. I don’t want to sacrifice the concave look of this wheel. So unless they can rebuild them to retain a good amount of concavity I might go with a different wheel. Good news is tho that making a new set will take HRE two weeks because they have accepted this as a mess up on there part so I won’t have to wait 2+ months again. And I didn’t have a scale present but holy shit the weight of these wheels is a joke… 21lbs absolute tops. Anyway this pic was all I left the shop with today :’(

Man that would’ve looked good if it’d fit…

#14

That is a great looking wheel and will look killer when they are done properly.

Maybe this is the sign that you needed to get the A4 all road fenders on your car :stuck_out_tongue:

#15

damn that sucks!

surprised though…et39 9.5 isn’t really very good for ckearance on rs brakes. What are the specs on oem rs5 wheels? Rs4 oem was 9x19 et29 as you know.

what tires were they? Size?
