I know what you mean, they look like a different wheel in person. Again, they are more of a race finish........unless you want bling bling chrome and people looking for dice in the mirror ;-). You really can’t tell what they look like online. Here is another pic. I have others laying around somewhere in my office, but I’m sure if you do a search online you will see other pics of them on BMW's and other high end cars.

They look alot like this wheel. Also, take a look at the PIAA Super Rozza 2 pc with the polished lip. They are way more expensive, but have a "quality" look.

CORRECTION: I still DON'T understand what they mean by 2 piece even by looking at the pic you sent me.
Are they referring to the mesh as one piece and the lip as a second peice?

Not planning on selling them, Igot a good deal.Yes two piece wheels have two removable parts. I don’t own a set, but from what I understand the advantage to a two piece wheel is that if you damage part of the wheel you can replace it cheaper than a one piece because your only replacing the part that was damaged and not the entire wheel. basically.

I run 19x8.5 38MM offset with 235/35/19, which fit great with no rubbing anywhere. Don't know if putting 235's on 9.5 inch rims is advisable, but if so should solve the rubbing (depending on what offset your rims are).

So, would it be safe to say that a 19x9.5 with a 275/30/19 (41mm offset) would not fit an A4 then???

You can't run a 19x9.5 rim on the front wheels of a B6A4 as there isn't room with a 265/30/19 tire unless you put on some custom fender flares.

The 19x9.5 will fit in the rear and if you are lowered then you will have to adjust the rear camber to tuck the wheel behind the fender.

Most people that run 19x9.5 rear with 265/39/19 rubber run a 19x8.5 front with 235/35/19 rubber.

Here you go. The tight shot may look a bit soft, as it was cropped from a much larger image.
