Picked up a B5 Nogaro S4 about three months ago and I'm going to be be in the market for a set of wheels by spring. Not opposed to saving a little more but I think I'm going to be looking around the $1500 mark w/out tires.

So far I've like the look of the Miro 111's and VMR wheels. BBS of course look great on this car but the roads here in MI are not the best so I'm having a hard time making the leap toward them. Thinking 18X8.5-9.5 all around, might look at a staggered set-up but I'd like a good amount of concave and possibly a mild stretch.

Running RS6 wheels right now but I'd like to get away from a 5 spoke. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

check out rotiform's or adv.1's. they both have alot of interesting designs.

 

Looked at both and didn't see something I was sold on. Someone suggested Raderwerks...any opinions? The brand is new to me...

 

the 3-piece w3 virtues are nice. not really diggin the rest. enkei rpf1's have always been a personal favorite.

 

Had a buddy that bent up a set of enkei's so I've always been leary of them. Rpf1's are a great looking wheel, with this car I keep leaning toward a slightly mesh wheel. Like the line corse LC818 or raderwerks...

 

I keep looking but end up more toward the same wheel, though it looks like there are several different versions of it.

Avant Garde M310
HRE P40 (out of my range)
VMR 710
Miro 111
Raderwerks AG-310

There is a set of Enkei's that catch my eye though...the PF01's look a lot like Work Emotion CR series as do the Rota Torques...An attractive wheel for the money...

 

rotas bend just by looking at them the wrong way. if youre gonna go that route they make a nice set of te37 reps that you could get with a crazy offset.

not really a fan of work emotion reps. they look cheap. the other style youre looking at is very popular. i see those wheels on porches and audis all over los angeles. not my style, but not bad.

would you be into different oem wheels? porsche turbo twists, audi fat fives, audi b6 s4 bbs ch's, etc?

i just saw the linea corse in black chrome and am very impressed! dont usually see it in that color. makes me rethink not liking this style...

The Linea Corse LC818s were actually my first choice but according to wheeldude they have been discontinued in Audi fitment I've messaged other distributors but no one seems to respond. Im not really seeing anything I've liked more than that wheel. Might consider running adaptors and going this route anyways. They are also no longer listed on their site in 18's...

Thanks again for your reply.

 

how do you feel about R8 or RS4 wheels? the ones with the split spoke design. IMO they would look nice on a noggy S4.

 

They definitely do. Just trying to find something that's not OEM. Thank you for the suggestions though!!

I looked at the LC818's again, which are still on wheeldudes site in Audi fitment, and sent him another email to see if there's adaptors I can run to make whatever lug pattern they are still made in work. They only show them listed in 19X8.5 et35 though...not sure if that will require spacers. I've seen a guy running them with 5mm spacers but I'm not sure if that was for look or to clear the caliper.
