  • Good and bad brand wheels

    May be starting to look for wheels for my S4. What are decent brands to look at, and what should I stay away from?

    Question is now moot. Found out my "summer" tires are all worn on one side. Had to move from research mode to purchase mode. Bob got me all hooked up. :-)

        In case people find this thread in the future:

        1. Forged wheels over cast wheels - hard to go wrong here.
        2. Brands that OEM's or big tuners (RuF, Alpina, etc) use over and over (OZ, BBS, Ronal, etc)
        3. Weight matters.
        4. Don't buy multi drilled wheels...
        5. Always check the fitment yourself before you buy.

          Not wanting to dump a pile of cash (this was going to be next year's purchase), I like the looks of the RS4 Reps on the B5 S4. Don't need to make a statement...just something nice to put new tires on.

            Can anyone comment on ISS Forged wheels? Currently high on my list for new shoes but have no experience with them or their product. Definitely not cheap though... That's for sure.
