Default oewheelsLLC, anyone bought reps from them?

Was just wondering if anyone here has bought replica wheels from this company, and if so, were they any good/worth the buy?

They seem to have some nice looking wheels, I like the RS4 reps quite a bit and I think these will fit my 98' A4 pretty well... from my non professional opinion, haha... these are 18x8's with 35 offset, is this too big if I plan on getting coils? I could always get 17's

a guy who was pretty active a while back got a set from them. Username: mikekey IIRC he was quite pleased with them. I have also heard some "horror stories", but that is just "people on the internet"

can't speak from personal experience. try messaging mikekey and see what he says. he seemed a pretty stand up type guy when he frequented the forums (he does still pop in from time to time)

I bought my RS4 reps from them. They aren't bad reps, but certainly not the best. The center caps are super cheap looking. You could buy 4 OEM ones from ecs for about $100. 18x8 35 is not too big for coils by any means. That'll sit quite nice. Don't get the 17's. I have them and I regret it everyday (until it comes to buying tires, a good 15-20% cheaper easily.)


Remember, you get what you pay for.

EDIT: I just realized you were talking about b7 RS4 wheels. Most of my post still stands though. If I were you I'd get a set of VMR 708's. They can be had for a good price.

Thanks for the posts guys, I do like these RS4 wheels too, Audi RS4 Wheels

Where is the best place to get the VMR wheels? I have looked at them before and I like them a lot but their site has no where to purchase, the 708's are sweeet too, 18x8.5 with 38 offset or 45, i'm assuming because the wheel is wider the offset is higher to compensate as compared with 8 inch 35 offset

vmr 708's in gunmetal are sexy... i have santorin blue i wonder how they would look
