So I was looking into getting summer/all seasons to replace my no-longer needed snow tires, when I decided I’m not all that fond of my stock 15" audi wheels.

A quick search on ebay for wheels yielded this:

[http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Hyper-silver-Audi-RS4-wheels-rims-deep-dish-A4-A6\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ\_trkparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a1Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ\_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem290311719629QQitemZ290311719629QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Hyper-silver-Audi-RS4-wheels-rims-deep-dish-A4-A6_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a1Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem290311719629QQitemZ290311719629QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)

Now, it’s clearly stated in there that they are REPLICAS, but have met all OEM specs, DOT ratings, have been crash tested, etc…

I’m not looking for baller wheels, just a better stock look on my a4.  
Then i could just keep the snows on my 15"s for next winter for a quick change out…

thoughts?

edit… sorry if this is the wrong forum section… i wasn’t sure where to put this

I’m looking for a set of BBS LM reps for my bmw.

I can’t fathom paying 1/2 price of the car for a set of wheels/tires. They are going to be for street only…  
IDK if i’d trust reps on heavy track duty though…
