x2, this is what I was getting at previously, if the distance between the wheel backpad and hub face doesnt change the rotor sits in and the wheel doesnt move
huh? How do you figure. The part in red is what the wheel hub mounts up flush to, so if it’s sitting out further than the one undoctored in the pic above, so then is the wheel. If it’s hollow, or solid, it won’t matter right? The top face on the rotor is where it is, no matter what the density of the material is. The other variable is as beem said where it mounts up (on the backside, or inside).
Maybe I’m not understanding something.
Whether the part in red is hollow or solid definitely matters. If it’s solid, then yes, the wheel will sit further out by whatever that red thickness is(say 10mm) and you will basically have a built in spacer. But it’s not likely they would make that a 10mm solid chunk of metal for weight reasons, etc. So if it’s hollow, the backside of the hat sits closer to the hub, by that 10mm, which results in the rotor sitting further inwards by 10mm. The backside of the wheel still sits agains the hat face, which hasnt moved.
I dunno, I need to draw a picture or something.
no that makes sense. You were referring to the backside where it mounts up there. I mentioned that in my last post (backside or inside).
Anyway, will be interesting to get the two parts together to see. Won’t be till summer likely for me (audi parts counter)
heres a shot of those new rotors that were mentioned on the new rs5

^very interesting design. They’ll look sick behind the R8 V10 wheels.
Attention JHM, my rotors are not light enough anymore! Let’s make this happen!!!
^lol.
Yeah wave rotors have been around for a long time in the motorcycle, Dirtbike/offroad scene. I tried them on a few dirtbikes I hadand on one street bike, honestly couldn’t tell the difference. On a full size car where the rotors are much more substantial from both a weight and size standpoint, different story all together.
I doubt those will be cheap. Will look sick though.
someone should just check with a parts counter in europe vs. B7 RS4 rotors to see
Looks like a design gimmick to get some oohs and ahhs. The drilled vs slotted is more evidence that they want the rotors to look pretty.
Agreed.
joe what would you know? You don’t even have an RS4, let alone an RS5. You can’t comment on RS cars UNTIL YOU BUY ONE! QUATTROFAIL RULES APPLY TO THE RS CARS ON ALL FORUMS!
why be so skeptical, im telling you for a fact that they wont fit, and after dan sent me some photos of my new rotors i can confirm that they wont fit ;D
I’m not skeptical about you richi…was talking about the price. Karsty said they’d be expensive but I thought itd be interesting to see how much they are vs b7 rs4 rotors…a good benchmark for semi-expensive audi rotors.
Bitch 
What the freak are those? B8 S4 LW rotors
kinda…they are lw rotors that will be going onto an s4, but they wont fit the factory brakes ;D
LW rotors to fit the 8pot brembo RS5 kit
whats the point of teasing when you give it all away… ass lol
