Default RS4 reps vs R8 reps, opinions?

i was looking to get some replica wheels for my b5. i have narrowed it down to the B7 RS4 reps and the R8 ones. both look really good IMO. any other opinions would be great.

ps. i am leaning towards the RS4s becuase they are $100 cheaper

IMO the B7 RS4 would be better for the B5 body style.

Which company are you going with?

i was going to buy from OE wheels. i know some people had problems, and they aren't as good as hartmann, but i heard a lot more positive about them (OE) than negitive

They both look like dog ****

RS4's are the most over played mod, let alone, wheel. I think they are good looking, but a little originality never hurt no one.

R8's look good on 1 Audi only, R8's. I'm not a big fan but better choice than RS4's.

The best looking Audi wheel for the B5 bodystyle is the B5 RS4... by far....

i hate when people say the RS4 is overplayed, because it's only overplayed on forums. its not like im going to run into 3 other B5 owners people with these wheels in my area

Well how many modified B5's do you really see on the road period??? Not many. Well when you do more than likely he'll have RS4 reps. Look on AZ and AW. Not just people on AF have these reps. I know 4 Audi's personally that have RS4 reps so I don't base my opinions on the internetz

Munzter, those arent b5 rs4 reps, those are hartmann DTM rs4's, which have an offset in the middle, unlike b5 rs4 reps

and to the OP, b7 rs4's look good, but think about getting b5 rs4's instead. b7 rs4s look great on a slammed s4 with painted lowers, but they look somewhat odd on a b5 a4 w/o painted lowers and stock suspension suspension (i am assuming u arent dropped because u dont have that listed in ur sig, but could be wrong)

and dont think any rs4 reps are overplayed, because how often are u gunna run into another b5 with them in your area??? I live in a city with 15,000 people and me and my buddy are the only b5's around.

thats just my .02¢

i say go for the rs4 reps as well, if your gonna get rims. r8 rims look really good on r8's and thats it. go for the b5 rs4's. no matter what anyone says it isnt outdone. Some people have them on here and thats all youll here about them
but if it is a choice between your decisions def get the rs4 reps
