The top ones look great... they're perfect in their simplicity.  And Gun Metal!! i think that would look good on my A6.. mine is blue-silver. 

Thanks Brice, i think i found my new rims!  do you think that the car is lowered? or the rims spaced? 



Hey now these are mine!!!! MIIIINE ;)
 
yes, The car is lowered on KW coil overs.. slammed! Mine is low too but I am changing suspension next week so it will be a little higher after that. Right now it is sitting at 24 5/8 inches. Will probably be at 25 1/4 then.
i am selling my Koni shocks and H&R suspension at about 60% of that I paid shipped.
 
I don't know if he has spacers. I will use spacers if needed to get the wheels to the edge of fender.

And yes the wheels to the fenders is very important to me too. I love the lip on the other wheels but I want something easier to clean. Heh.

RS4 DTM are very tempting... Agree the AT is a bit nicer, a little pricier too! Trying to stay under 300 for rim and <500 with tires..

Got to decide on tire now... OH boy so maby choices!!!
Might try the Vredestein.

Get the DTM they are very pretty, and you know they look great on the car.

I have some Riken Raptors ZR by Michellin. Great tires for cheap

Those AT Italias look good Gigi.

I've been thinking about the DTMs or the A8 reps.  The RS6 reps are nice too, but I'd rather have DTMs/A8s instead.  Gotta keep the fat5s for the off season though.

I'm excited to see pics of the A8s, Mini!

Not the easiest to keep clean I imagine, but worth it.  Nice, yet aggressive looking.

You're EVIL!
:)

I saw those pics... Yeah I have been spengintime on wheels websites....!
I really like the DTM and the price... Just wish I could afford the forged one but not worth an extra $340!!! More than twice the price...
I think I might buy 5 DTM cast wheels for a spare.

If  can sell my stock BBS RC, I could spend a little more $ and get the AT Italias but they are so shiny...
PLus I would like to see them on an A6..
Wonder if someone could photoshop them

and here's the answer you were all looking for...
Received from ACHTuning

"Hi Brice, we have the Hartmann RS4-DTM 18" in 2 different offsets (ET35 and ET42) the ET 42 offset is on sale but does not have enough brake caliper clearance to fit the B5 S4 or the A6 2.7t with the "HP2" brake calipers, the ET35 does have sufficient clearance but is not currently on sale. Weight for that wheel in either offset is 25.50lbs, they are only available in the Hyper Silver color, sorry.
Thanks Brice, please let me know if you have any other questions,"

25.5 is not light and defnitrly more than my forged RSGT I just sold but I can live with that weight... Their forged set is 21.5.
I really am leaning toward those...

28.5 pounds for the ones I got...but they are the 19 inch ones. Also...I really do not know how acurate the scale was heh.

They definitely look good, but at 28.5 lbs I'm not sure if it is worth it when I can stay with my Fat5s which run somewhere around 20lbs, IIRC.

From the information that Brice received I'm willing to bet the 19" DTMs are about the same weight. I bet the G5s are about the same as well.

The only way to see how much this impacts performance and fuel economy is to get a set and see.

Well yeah that is the only way to find out is to see when they are on the car.

I cannot give you specific diffs in tenths or WHP, but in my experience using my butt dyno, weight makes a diff.
I had 19" Cks that weighed 26/27lbs and my BBS RC/RSGT are about 20... I could feel the difference both in low speed/red light start accelerations AND even handling in the twisties. In regular everyday driving, no biggy though I think he might affect braking some but I doubt it'd make a significant diff.
