RS4 or R8?

[Manu_R32]

Heres the deal...went over to spain today to have a look at some replica alloys as i dont like the look of the omanyts. The price i was given was 1500 (around £1k) euros for both RS4 and R8 Reps...they would be wrapped in Michellin Pilot Sport 2's and includes VW Centre caps, locking bolts and would be aligned etc....thing is i cant make up my mind on which to choose? Any help/opinions/comments would be much appreciated!

Here is a picture of a TR on RS4 Reps...



Here is a picture of a TR with R8 Alloys (had to be photoshopped as i couldnt find a real life pic)



Many thanks!

Sorry can't vote - neither - somehow 18" RS4 reps look just that - replicas / cheap. Photoshop not quite the ticket either

Those RS4's are 19's ain't they? Not keen on the 18" reps, but the 19's look spot on!  (don't like the R8 reps)

manu youve just baught a 30,000pound car and you want to put reps on it  how can you have a budget to keep to, if you sold the std r32 alloys and tyers and then went with some better alloys, then you would have made up 50% of the price at least.

The RS4 reps might look better if they werent silver.

keep the standard wheels, buy some kw coilovers and stick some 12 mm spacers on ithe rear...low fat and very mean..as opposed to another golf with snide wheels on

just my opinion mate, but as others have said, they just look fake.

Hi Manu,

Some BBS multispokes are a good way to go   I like the R8 alloys personally, but would be tempted to keep the Omanyts if I had an R32 anyway. If you want me to lock the thread I will do.
