Hello, I am not happy with the stock wheels on my beast. Does anybody know if the new rs/4 spoke wheels are available for sale? They should fit the brakes, was told the wheels are a 35 offset. Haven't really seen aftermarket rims that I really like.

The beast is just too hot to put on non-jazzy Hartmann stuff.
Get something forged, around 22-24lbs per wheel, and you will see how much better the steering feels.

I don't know if the RS4 wheels will fit. I would wait to get the ones that come with the R8 though. Those are much nicer, and still double spoke.

I have spent some time looking for aftermarket rims for the beast. The stock rims are just that with other audi's using these same rims. The stock rims don't show the width and depth of the tire.

There is nothing special about the stock wheels and the rs/6 is too stealthy. With 520hp, it certainly is special.

Still havent settled on the rs/4 but leaning. Thanks again.

Be careful to make sure whatever aftermarket wheels you get can handle the extra weight of these cars. Like XL load rated tires, the wheels also have to be rated for the load of these beasts..

Interested in this topic and whether you have tried a swop yet.

When I bought my Rs6 I purchased a new wheel and tyre as a spare. Having recently swopped the Rs6 for a Rs4 I kept the spare. I have yet to jack up the Rs4 to see if it fits - does any one know the answer to save me checking it out?

My father in law just bought a RS6 and we put on the 19inch RS4's from my A6 2.7T and they fit. Looks sharp too. :D

We just tried one on to see if it fit. They're still on my A6. I'm trying to sell my 04 A6 2.7T 6spd to buy a RS6. They're going to go on mine when I get it. :)

the folks at hartmann were very knowledgable about the beast. In fact they have one of their own. Just ordered the forged seven spoke (22lbs a piece) with avon techm500 tires. http://www.hartmannwheels.com/site/forgedwheels.php

The tires are manufactered by cooper and are 188 a piece and get fantastic reviews.

For sale four rs/6 wheels with conti extreme contact 255/40/18 with 4k miles on them.
