How cheap are they? Because you can get a set of RS4 reps on ebay for a pretty good price and I like the RS4 look so much more than that.

ummmm, well... personally they are not my favorite set I've seen. I mean I also don't think black wheels on a dark blue car is gonna look too good but ya never know. I'd P-chop 'em and then make the decision, at the end of the day, it's what makes you happy that matters

I know there's probably more threads on this, and that I'm hyjacking this thread, but if you lower a car it's more than just the springs right?... Becuase I want to lower mine after the wheel upgrade, and someone said you need to adjust camber, and mabye new shocks if you're out of their travel range.... etc... Is this all true, or can I just be a cheep as and buy only new springs?

I imagine they'd look something like this in Silver... What do you guys think about Tien springs?

well Tien is a very repectable company so you would probably get a quality product from them and they probably would be tuned decently well for the application.
and to TexasPete
when lowering your car greater then to the sport suspension height, I would recommend you get new sport shocks because most likely you will kill the stock shocks pretty quick. Also Audi's can't adjust camber so you just have to live with the negative camber, and increased tire wear

can you buy the caster/camber plates for them or no?

not that I am aware of, the only thing you can do is equal the camber by shifting the subframe.

KSport coilovers come with camber adjustability built into the top mount. A few AF'ers have installed them, I've heard pretty good stuff about them. You can get a set on eBay for about $900 shipped. I'm sure there are other coilovers with camber adjustment as well. If you go with springs/shocks rather than coilovers, you can probably get a camber kit of some kind.
Basically though, if you're going to lower your Audi, it's best to get either coilovers or a full spring/shock combination, rather than just springs. Stock shocks probably won't last long with aftermarket springs.

To the OP, I don't like those wheels - they look kind of plasticy, and I don't think they'd look right on an A4.

no man dont get some black rims if your car is already dark if anything get gun metal they are still dark and dont show to much dirt. but i agree with audi_noob you can get stock or replica s4 or rs4 wheels for a really good price and if you want to change it up with a dark color poweder coating isnt to much and if you have time you could do it yourself. but its your money jsut dont do something your not gonna like in a month

I'm gonna go with strike 3 on the wheels, if you want some ADR's look at the M=sports. but also fliks might be an option. I know I'm suggesting all the common A4 wheels when I like the uncommon, but I mean to be different you usually have to fork over some cash.
