Posting up some new shots of my car. I had to replace my RS4 reps. I had one fail on me after a track day. I decided I didn't want to mess around with weak wheels so i bought a set of BBS REs. I know some ppl will say they're played out. Meh, I think they're classics.
I wrapped them in wider rubber for better traction. And, helps avoid curb rash. I went from 235/40 to 245/40. Also, since my last post, I've put a set of Stoptech slotted rotors and SS lines on the car and painted my calipers silver to match the car.

Really? I was under the impression that Hartmann made a good wheel? That sucks to hear...
I really like the looks of Hartmann wheels. And, for DD they are great. But, they didn't work well as a track wheel. I think that my big heavy car, lowered made the load too high for the wheel. I wanted a lightweight and stronger wheel. Forged was the way to go. Prodrive had a forged wheel that looked just like the B7 RS4. Unfortunately, they discontinued it. The BBSs I got weight 7lbs less per wheel than the Hartmanns. That's a nice chunk of unsprung weight being shed. Add to that the strenght of forged wheels and the BBS pedigre, I was happy to switch.
What size ties do you have on your 18x8's?
