So a pothole bent one of my rear rims as well as cracked the other, which means I'm looking at replacing them. As of late I have been driving with the bent one, and my spare 16 inch tire on, so as you can imagine it rides horribly.

I have no idea what size I need other than an 18 inch rim, and when I called a dealership they refused to answer any questions. Currently I have a 2004 A6 2.7t S-Line with 235/40 ZR 18 tires. There's numbers inside the wheel as well and it might as well be gibberish to me. Here they are 8Jx18H2, ET 43, and 4E0901025AB. Which one of those is the offset? And does anyone think that these rims will fit?

Hi. I don't know wether the wheel pictured in the link is a true OEM wheel or replica but it should fit on your car fine. The lug pattern, wheel width, wheel diameter and offset are all the same dimensions as the OE factory 18" 9 spoke wheel.

 

I'm not a big eBay fan. Do a google search -- there are a few vendors who sell all sorts of Audi rims. The prices should be comparable and the question is it worth a few dollars more to be able to ask questions and confirm fitment.

 

Are they 5 spoke? I have 2 rims (18 inch) from a 2008 A6. I bought 4 used because I bent 2 rims on my car. I now have 2 to spare/sell. They have 245/40/18 tires and tps monitors still on them. I have same # inside my rims..8Jx18H2, ET 43,end me PM if interested.
Good Luck,
Bob

 

You need to source an OEM 18" S-line wheel (9-spoke) which is 18x8" ET43 offset. These wheels also came on the B6 A4 Ultrasport.

There is a guy here that is selling a set of 4 for $600

You can also try to contact Wheel Collision Center in PA, they might have them. Just keep in mind that refinished wheels wil NOT match your OEM wheels. The hypersilver paint from Germany has lead in it, which is banned in the US.

 

I actually lucked out for once. Found an exact matching set on ebay at 100 bucks a piece, with the same specs, hypersilver paint, and nine spoke. Different listing than the original one I posted. These actually are pretty much brand new, I kind of wish I was able to afford all four though. Oh well at least now it will ride smoothly, when I get them mounted.

 

Wow, that was a good find. Good Luck,
Bob
