Default Ok, 19 x 9 is too much. then.....

I just cancel the order for OEM RS4 wheels which is 19 x 9. (Not sure If I made a good move or not but anyways),

and now looking for some good replicas with RS4 wheel looks.

But I never tired put replicas on my car and it kinda gets me worry for some reasons.

Heres why.

I know that genereally the replicas are cheaper that OEMs, but

not sure about the quality.

DOOEMs and Replicas look distinguishbly different when those

looked closer? and Does replica has problems like

peeling off easily, or could bented easily, or just look cheapkinds like that.


Currently I am looking http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1709

anyone knows or heard about this company?

Please give me advises or I am just gonna get BBS CH 19 x 8.5

which cost almost 500 a piece which is kinda off my budget. (and I need ALL season tires to go with those too :[ )

I went from 19's to 18's. I got a set of chrome rs4 replicas on conti extreme contact tires. Don't have one complaint yet, I love both of them.

I just call puremotorsports and they get wheels from velocity motor lol. 800 for 19 x 8.5 with Audi center caps.

and i made a call to veloctity but they are selling center caps with 20 bucks each seperately. So i choose the puresports one.

Thank you for the info dude!!

yes i agree they are cheaper your right.
in my case i had stock 18" wheels so i got the 18's so that i didnt have to dish out on new tires.

why not get 19's??? they have been put on plenty of b5's with no problems.

i have 18's right now and I plan on upgrading to 19's if i dont end up getting a new car.

Silly rabbit, he's got a B7.

I have the same question though. Why not 19's? They look great on B7's.

9" is a little too wide though. You could go with a 8.5" with 225 tires though.

it's not the 19 part he's worried about. im pretty sure it's the 9" wideness part. he's most likely worried about rubbing..

but FWIW, i run 9" wide rims all around on my B6 with stretched 235's. no spacer and im at about 24.75" ground to fender height on my tracksports... no rubbing
