R8 wheels on an RS4
#2
I'm sure there are offset issues. Consider that the RS4 has the same size wheels all around. You might be able to put just R8 fronts all around (or rears), depending on offsets...
I still think the RS4 stock wheel is the best OEM wheel design from ANYONE in a long time. I have two sets (one titanium package, one getting gunmetal finish at the Olde Wheel Shop in MD).

Love the new rear headlights, but in general it feels like the B8 i trying too hard. The B7 has a natural, subtle grace which I appreciate.

I think I'd prefer the stock rims on the rs4, the r8 wheels look very nice on the r8. Did a quick photoshop of it, but as always, it might look better in reality.
Stock
With R8 wheels
Couldn't help trying them on my Mini when I had PS open
I think that darkening the stock wheels to graphite would look a lot hotter than the R8s.
Chris from cali: have you got any pics of your gunmetal wheels?

Why don't you print out 1:1 copies of the R8 wheels, have them laminated and put over your current wheels . . . And after about 12 seconds like that, you'd realize that the stockies are, in fact, much prettier. So then you rip them off and see how well laminated R8 wheel print-outs work as frisbees. I don't know what I'm talking about now.

you're all right. The stock versions are way better. And bro - get yourself some titanium RS4 versions on the mini. Should look great.

Jox, I must be doing something wrong. I removed the wheels from my car just like you said and tried throwing them from our apartment window a few times. They don't seem to fly well even though I live on the sixth floor- they seem kind of heavy and the neighbors have complained a bit. Maybe I'm missing something here. Were you only supposed to remove the laminated print-outs?
