I really am liking the 18" RS4 DTM wheels for my B5 A4 from hartmann wheels but it looks like you can get the same one from lakeshore wheel and tire: http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/audi/audi-s4.shtml

Are they the exact same shape and everything? It looks like the lakeshore wheel spoke bulges out some near the edge of the wheel (see picture), whereas the hartmann wheel spoke is flush with the edge of the wheel.

Lakeshore is RETARDED for only having one picture of thier wheels available on their website and having a shitty return policy ... but their prices are so good!


Does anyone have this model from lakeshore on their car? Anyone think this is a good buy?

Yeah but those ones arent the same model - I agree they look pretty nice but everyone has them. Plus its easy to find replacement audi center caps.

I like the ones from lakeshorewheel - but it looks like it sticks out more at the edges so it would get a lot more curb rash...

 

i like em both, prices?

 

Hartmann - about $260 each
Lakeshore - about $160 each

So, hartmann Im looking at about 1600 for a set of 4 with tires and lakeshore is around 1200 for the same...

hmmmmmm....

(I just got my lowers painted at a shop so Im looking to get these soon)

 

I emailed Lakeshore on those wheels, they are really friggin heavy! 34 pounds each![:@]

 

hmmm... how much lighter are the hartmanns?

 

the hartmann's look WAAAAAYYYYYYY cleaner, i see a big difference in the rims... the lakeshore spokes are wider, and they bulge a lot more, i think the hartmann's look really clean, they have a bit thinner spoke design and dont bulge at the end...

get the hartmann's... i think its not even a contest.

 

They are NOT the same. Look at where the spoke meets the rim, it's fatter on the lakeshore ones, I'm pretty sure they are cheap China rims.
Hartmans are Italian made.

Get the higher quality wheel form Hartman, the extra money is worth it.
