I got screwed waiting for PUREMS for my RS4 replica 18 inch wheel. Any idea where I can get Velocity RS4 wheels? Any vendor, site recommendation? Thanks

Just re-read this thread and posting a couple comments. I do run the Velocity RS4 replicas that I bought from purems. Sorry to hear you had a problem, Audi6S. Have you called them to discuss? Maybe they are back-ordered. If you complan nicely, they may make a marketing concession and not charge you shipping or something, esp if you (nicely) tell them you are considering cancelling the order.
One post indicated the Velocity's are made in China (true) and the Hartmann's in Europe. Just be aware that a lot of OEMs have moved their parts manufacturing to eastern Europe (formerly behind the iron curtain) because of cheap labor and lax environmental laws. My OEM 17" rims indicate they were made in Poland! Frankly, some of these eastern Europe countries (Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia) are as third world as China.
I guess the only way to know which is better is for someone to do a side-by-side comparison of Hartmann vs Velocity, including weighing them. Until then, mine look good.....I just don't let children play with them because they probably contain lead. :-)

also depends on model as some come with different package I believe. if it had sport package etc. . I came with stock 17 and sport package and moved to 18 255/40's without any issue.

I called and they were in stock and now on back order...I am not sure what's going on but they are telling me to wait until May for those wheels and I am not going to do that. Now, I am looking to buy a set asap because I already bought the wheels too. Hartmann are expensive so, I would like to stick with Velocity but dont know of any reseller other then PUREMS.
Thanks
