Default So today i fell in love, but

I was working on my car today, and this a3 rolls up, and the first thing i notice are the rims. I immediatelyfell in love with them. I searched and found them on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

But they only offer 18x8 or 19x8 Is there any way of getting 18x9 or another width from somewhere else?

i believe the OP was talking about these:



yes, those are oem RS4 rims.

digging a bit deeper, the genuine oem RS4 rims are: 19x9 w/ 29 offset, 5x112 bolt pattern, 57.1mm hub size.

i believe the link the OP has is of replica rims.

I think i fixed the link. It's a redesigned rs4 wheel that's now on the a3. It's gunmetal now.

ahem ahem.... i think i have the closest thing to the RS4 rims, but mine are cooler cause they are burshed aluminum baby. U guys need to see the VP-8s rollin, cause thats when they really shine literally and figuratively

Yeah, but some wheel shops can make adapters. I don't know what i like about the rims, but i love them! The bolt pattern is not the problem. The problem is that it's not staggered and only come in 18x8 or 19x8. I was wondering if they can get any wider.
