nikonian11 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Are these audi rims on the legacy??? If not do you know where I can get the replicas that would fit? It looks so pretty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 doubt it, just similar. corazon uses similarly audiesque wheels, but 7 spoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Love the look of those wheels.....If I could get them in Bronze, I might be wheel shopping again:) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 They are probably RS4 replicas. I thought Audi used 5x114 but I know VW uses 5x100 so its probably a replica for VWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONRAMP Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 They are probably RS4 replicas. I thought Audi used 5x114 but I know VW uses 5x100 so its probably a replica for VWs. IIRC, Audis use two different patterns, depending on model. The TT was/is on the same platform as the Golf/Jetta, and wheels were interchangeable between the models. That platform uses the 5x100 wheels, but the A4, A6, A8, etc. are actually 5x112. That wheel was available from Audi in 17" and 18" sizes for the A4 and A6, and in 18" for the TT. I think it was called the Celebration wheel by Audi, but is most commonly referred to as the RS4 wheel, as it was the standard wheel on (you guessed it) the RS4. I've seen that wheel on a number of Golfs and Jettas in 18". I had that same wheel on my '04 A6 S-Line in 18", and 17" was an option with all-season tires. There are a few knock offs available of that wheel as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Word of caution tho to those who'd wanna get a set of these (or any VW wheels) and put them on your Scooby. Wheels designed for VWs will most likely have an offset of 35 which isn't correct for our cars. (please correct me if I'm wrong) It would be nice though to have a whole slew of compatible wheels from VW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougeben83 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 There are "replica" Audi rims (usually of the S and RS variety) that are made by various manufacturers in different sizes and offsets...just got to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL PAALO Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 better pricing through discount tire stateside, but they aren't showing proper scooby offset ....... bet they could get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 According to the Wheel and Tire FAQ, an ET of 45 is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach_six Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Is it only the wheels that make an Audi an Audi? I always like their fat spoke, flat wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deer Killer Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 what i dont understand is why would anyone want to make their Subaru look like an Audi? Because the wheels are simple and functional and about as anti-rice as you can get. I like the old avus style wheels on A4's.. the TT ones will "fit" by the definition that's usually used on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only plastic. I've done this before with the centercaps for a Lincoln to a Ford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDC Joe Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hmmm 25 lbs huh If you said 22 I would really look into those. They are pretty cool on that top pic. 25 is a heavy wheel though and will effect performance a lot. And TDC says performance>looks PM Me for all your Modification Needs!
