Wheel size question
I've been looking for black 5-spoke wheels without much luck for my a4. So far this is he best I've found, but I've never heard of Rota Wheels. Does anyone know if they have a good/bad reputation?

And the wheels have a 20mm offset, and are 9.5 inches wide. I wasn't sure if something that wide would work, and I'm guessing I'd need a 15mm spacer to correct the offset.
If anyone has any recommendations for some decently priced black 5-spoke wheels that would be awesome too.

Those look similar to Oettinger RE's....I know because they are the wheels I'm looking to pick up. 9.5" is VERY wide, you may have to use a bigger spacer, and with that you may run into the fact that the wheels may poke from the wheel well too far.
I'm no expert for wheel offsets, maybe someone else can give you advice if they will work.

rota wheels are used a lot with subarus and other jap cars. I'm not sure about inner clearance but 9.5 et20 is already very wide out and poking. 15mm spacers would poke a lot.. also you'd need special wobble bolts to fit 5x114.3 wheels on a b5 audi. maybe you should check b6 a4 wheels and also some mercedes wheels if you want a fitting, not expensive five spoke set

I also have a question about this. I currently have a 18x8 wheel set. 1 of them got destroyed and is beyond repair. It's almost impossible to find a replacement wheel, but I stumbled upon 2 wheels that are 18x9 with a 20 offset.
Questions are, will it fit my current tires which are 225/40-18? And someone said that it will not clear the front calipers and it might rub. But I've also heard that it can clear the rear calipers, but a guy from discount tire said, "Yea it will bolt on, but according to our system it will still rub the fenders."
Will it clear or not? Another note, my car is lowered with H&R Sports Springs. Thanks in advance

As for rubbing, it really depends on how low you are. The stretch tires will help a little with the rubbing issues.
