Replacing a wheel on 2001 S4
Hello again,
I was looking into replacing one of my wheels and I found this place online that sells the 2001 S4 rims:
http://shop.wheelsrims.net/search.ht...&part_subtype=
The last 3 items are what I'm wondering about. The pictures all appear the same except that one says in description that it is D-CHROME(whatever that means), another a replica and another apparently just regular(all three with different prices). I don't think my S4 has the chrome rims but since all the pictures on the webpage are the same I guess I just don't know. I've included a picture of what my wheels look like(this isn't the wheel I'm looking to replace) but I'm just still not sure which one of the three I need. There is no problem in purchasing the D-CHROME if that's the one...i would just hate to order one that isn't like the ones on my car. I've had this S4 now for almost a month and I'm enjoying it still just like the day I got it.
Thanks again for your help.

Best way to know is to call them. Replica wheels will surely do the
job. Most of the time, they are made in China, fitting is usually good
and balancing is easy. Down side, paint finish will not be as durable
as a factory wheel, but you'll save 200-300 $ per wheel compare to one
from the dealer, so ... I've bought myself 4 Gunmetal 17 " wheel to put my
snow tires on and they do the trick for less than 200 $ per wheel. Since you
want a factory like wheel (AVUS) fitting will not be an issue. My experience
with other type wheels was more complicated, i had to try 4 different models
in order to find one that clears front wheel calipers.
Good luck !

thank you for your tips/suggestions.
2k S4, that place does look very nice as well. i'll make sure exacly what I have and then make the purchase.
what's kind of strange is the link which I provided lists the 'replica' price higher than regular. don't know how exacly that works out but i'll look more into.
thanks to all for the help.
