I have stock 17" fat fives on my 02 B6 (17x7.5 ET45 offset)

Im shopping for some 19" RS4 replicas and am wondering two things that I'm sure you folks will have a lot of useful input on:

1) what do you guys recommend for offset for 19x8?
how about 19x8.5?
*I dont want to rub (not lowered, have the stock sport suspension)

2) what RS4 replicas to you suggest? Anyone have good experiences with certain brands or websites?

I've heard of folks getting RS4 reps for around $500 shipped, this seems too good to be true to me.
I live in cali so the roads here arent as bad as some places, but I still want some recommendations hopefully based on experience.

Thanks in advance for any info you guys have to share.

 

I'm running 19x8.5 with 38mm offset on stock sport suspension. Great fit, and absolutely no rubbing.

 

not all reps are made equal remember tthis!

 

So I've heard - of course I want good quality to minimize risk of bending, cracking.
What's the consensus on VMR reps?

look through that u will find tons of info on those wheels.

 

I understand the rim and the width of the rim but what does the 38mm mean

 

Offset from center - see http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp for details.
