I have decided its time to replace the original 17" RS4 sport rims for new ones as the Audi originals have now become seriuosly deformed. I have also decided to go just for rims and choose the tyres from another source.
I have been investigating replacing the originals with OEM's but would appreciate advise on the best maunfacturer of Audi look alike OEM rims.
Any help would be appreciated.

Replica do a good 'replica' audi wheel, try them.

Try Montys Wheels & Tyres - they always get good feedback in the annual Audi Driver Awards.

They may not list anything A2-specific, but will have plenty if you give them a call.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Colin
have you considered refurbishing the rims you have?
I had the same problem with the 17" originals on mine and i trashed all 4 in 6 months.
I since discovered that INNER rim bends can be straightened out and i have a machine to do it now. If you want to send me some pics of your bends i will say whether it can be repaired. This is different from outer cosmetic damage by the way. I wish i knew this before i e bayed mine for a pittance

Hi,

Here is a link to a serious place in Belgium.

WWW.AUTOEXCLUSIVE.COM

A lot of Audi owners from an other forum go there for replacement wheels. Not original but very similar.
Price are advertised and they ship.

I have no interest nor "connaissance/friends" up there and never ordered anythink.

Good luck,
Didier
