Discount Tire Replica rims for Audi
I was hoping someone might be able to help me.
I called discount tire 4 times and got a different person each time with a
different story and price. The replicas look like the 5 spoke 16" A4 rim. One
of the guys claimed they even have the Audi rings the other 3 said no. They
all claimed it'll work without the tires rubbing I am planning on using 205/55
SP 8000's. 3 of them said it was the same offset as my stock rims 35 mm
offset. 1 of them said it was 35 mm offset and all aftermarket rims are 35 mm
and the OE rim is 45 mm offset.
I want 16" rims as an upgrade for my '88 5000TQ
So here's my question who knows the truth?
Are OE rims 45 mm offset?
If I use 35 mm offset will there be any rubbing or poor handling because of
it?
Why don't they make replicas like the original?
Thanks in advance for your help
Anyone have a clean set of the OE 16" 5 spoke rim 4 sale at a nice price?
