Has anyone run these on their RS6? I want to switch from 19" to 18" as the roads in Michigan suck.
Specs: 18x8.5 ET 32

Yes, I have them on mine.
You might have to pick and choose what corners they are installed on after balancing. I had my wheel and tire combo road-force balanced and one of the weights ended up in a location that would put it very close to the front calipers.
Another tip: 65mm center cap decals will very closely match these centers. They're a couple mm small but you only notice it if you're really looking for it.

Thanks for the info guys. Deforest do you have any pics? Are yours the same specs? I was thinking of a 5mm spacer.....that should help with clearance???

I think G2 was running them, looked good, but cut edges and finishing you can tell they are cheaper.

I own a set. They are a fine wheel and likely the strongest and lightest for the money. A couple hard-ish hits and still perfectly true. Says a lot for 19x9.5" wide hoops.
Not cheap looking at all, but are cheap to buy. Looks far sportier than OE and much lighter, too.

Yes, same specs. Fit is very close to the front suspension 'nub' but clears and after an entire summer last year I saw no evidence of rubbing on the tire (Pilot Sports). I run without spacers but may also go with 5mm especially on the rear (see photo). These wheels will need the hubcentric rings also if you don't have them. I bought the 'installation kit' from Discount Tire Direct which had the rings and new lugs.
I have had a couple hard hits (rural upstate ny roads) and have had no issues with bending.
Sorry for the parking lot photos...
