Default Need quick help with rims that I want to buy. CHECK THEM OUT

Hey guys so I was looking through craigslist and I saw a set of 4 18inch rims that will look very good on my audi. I'm not sure if these will fit or what. Maybe one of you knows what they are and will be able to help me out. Check out out

Nobody is going to be able to help you with the information you gave... Are they even 5x112? I would personally never put them on my Audi. Are those chrome?

My car is silver so chrome wont look bad at all . Plus you can always sandblast them and repaint anything you want. I have no idea what are the specs on them. Guy only posted that they are 18s. Dont they look like the new S4 rims?

i dont mind them, they have kind of the b5 rs4ish look to them.

but could be completely different when they are on, you should make sure they are 5x112, and check on the offset, and the width too.

how much does he want for them?

Thats not a bad price if the bolt pattern and offest are legit. Call/email the guy and get the specs before you buy 'em

If you like them, first find out the bolt pattern.. They don't look like common 5x112 wheels. If they are 5x112 find the offset and width of wheels and tire measurements and tire wear on the two that are included. Make sure they are all straight also.

If the guy does not know the answer to the offset and other measurements how can i tell?
rubber dont matter much because i thought if i buy them i will buy new shoes for them.

They do not remind me of those. If you like those you can pretty easily find them less than $500 used with tires.
