Seach for Audi RS4 Replica wheels on UK Google (www.google.co.uk), there are plenty of manufacturers who makes these and at good prices. However, they are likely to be quite a heavy wheel but if you don't mind that, you should be fine

There are a few highstreet shops in the UK that do sell these but I don't think they'd be any cheaper than you could buy them online...unless you plan on a trip to UK shores?

i guess so .. my only issue is with quality as drive on some long highways back from work and late at night and from time to time i'll go over 240KM/H when the opportunity presents itself ... so i'm concerned about the rims suffering from knocks or high speed heat ... can you recommend any particular place?

I bought these 19" the other day with 235/35's all round http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/19_Inch_RS4_V2_BP_Style_Alloy_Wheels__75. As weight comparison, they are c3.5kg per wheel heavier than the OEMs, but then they are 19". Plus they bolted straight on, what a result The service was excellent with one exception, when I checked the wheel width, I was told 8j, but they were actually 8.5. This meant that they sit right to edge of the arches. I have had no problems so far. Will post a pic tomorrow

Here are some pics

You can see how they are almost flush with the arch, these are 225/35 on the front and its a stretch and the rim is realy exposed so changing to 235/35 as on the back on Sat, before the wife curbs 'em

I've always had a thing for bubble buts

They look damn cool if I say so myself

Cheers boys

Good move Rabe187, what ever you decide to get just make sure you check PCD, ET (offsett) and width to ensure they sit on the car how you want.

doh , um the big fat AMG wheels ,

il post em later

would that et work ?

 

[JamJay]

I don't see why not. If the front can clear the caliper ok then there should be no need for a spacer and id it doesn't, 3mm or 5mm should do it. The rear will petrude 5mm more than OE but it should pretty much sit level with the arch I would think, judging by the 8.5" width.

Mine are 8.5" wide and ET35 and sit pretty flush with the arch. Any lower ET and I think they might breach the arch.

This isn't really clear but you get the idea how tight the margins are.

ive also lowered it slightly on weitecs , ,

ive always fancied something different and am not sure the 17 or 18 wheels would be better

 

[rabe187]

Hi Andrew, thanks for the tip on Hartmann being American and not British ... as for going for 17 - 18 ... i think 18's with some lowering springs are the best combo for the Leon ... 19's are nice but the roads here are'nt good enough to go that big, the ride will be quite harsh, especially if the car is your daily driver.

Just curious ... would 245 tyres work on those rims? cuz i have 235's on right now and i want to wider so i can have more contact and thus better grip in the turns...
