im not sure on fitment but i think you could do better... specially for that price you could find some better fitting 18's or 19s even if you know where to look. plus they only have one left in stock :-/

anyway i love these wheels, see the are 17" likw my stock wheels, 8"wide half inch+,. I love these wheels i dont like big loud/sightly things on my car pesonally yes i will have stage 3 oneday but i will keep my s4 bumper lol... i know ive looked at a shitload of 18 n 19 wheels but the only ones i would get are bbs meshies i dont have 1500+ $ just to spend on wheels. these are oem and if i dont like how they look i will sell em for 225 a pop. but these have been my favorite wheels for years i think they will fit me just fine.
Next is springs or coils!

If thats what you want then go for it! No sense in modifying your car to other peoples taste. I'm not sure about the fitment issue though. I was surprised when I had to get spacers for my 04 S4 rims, OEM. Granted I love the spaced out look now, but the thought of spending the extra money just to have them fit got me agitated.

ok so even worse than 240 for a replica, theyre charging that for a used wheel. idc if theyre reconditioned theyre not worth 240. sorry.

this is what i got oem $375 for the lot


fitment im hoping i wont have to do much
our stock rims are 17"/7.5J 45mm offset
ones i got are 17"/8J 48mm offset

according to wheelsmaster.com it will work, i will even be able to use the same tires i all ready have, bridgestone potenza poleposition 225/45/17 so we will see i am getting the wheels next weekend, polish em up nice and take it from there. no mater what im happy

ill post pics once i get it all squared away
