Just bought a 2004 S4 Avant and I'm looking at getting some 19's. I was hoping some of you might be able to pass on some of your wisdom. A few questions...

Should I be concerned about the harshness of the ride going from the OEM 18 to a 19? Car is bone stock right now. Don'twant to invest in coilovers just yet.

How wide a tire canI put on without having to worry about rubbing/bumps? a 255??

I really like the look of some of the RS4 replicas. I noticed Hartmann does one, and Velocity Wheelsdoes one that appears to bea good job replicatingthe concavity of the wheel. Can anyone comment on the quality of these replicas? I don't want to bend a rim on my first drive!
Any other manufacturers that do a good quality RS4 replica?

Should I bite the bullet and buy a better quality wheel? Any comments on the quality/strength of the BBS CH?

Thanks for the help!!

 

BBS IS VERY NICE AND GOOD QUALITY YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THOSE WITH MAYBE SOME TOYOS
