    OK, so I got these beautiful RS4 reps (18x8 et35) from another member with Continental DSW 215/40 18s already mounted and I love them, but I've finally come to the realization that I'll never be low enough to make them look really good. I'm about to put on a set of Bilstein coils and the lowest I'll go is 1.5". The stretch on these babies just begs to be tucked into a fender and I'm just not that cool…

    So Here's the deal, I'm looking for a set of 17s or 18s with good tires to trade for these things. I would prefer 5x100 but would also consider other bolt patterns if adapters were included. Depending on the wheels I might want a little cash on top.

    The wheels are overall in really good shape but a couple have some curbage (looks worse in the pics than IRL). Tires have plenty of meat left, under 10k on them total and the tread wear is totally even.

    Here's what they look like on my car:










    And here's what they're supposed to look like:

    Thanks for the pic of your sexy, sexy ride JFLORES, I hope you don't mind me using it to pimp out your old rims.

    Ya, those damn rear seats are heavy! I couldn't believe it when I pulled my stock one out, I thought it was still attached or something...

    Thinking about selling these without trade... Make me a cash offer if you want to buy them outright.
