mmmm... sexy.  I forgot about these, used to imagine having them on a STi lol. Wonder if they come in an audi bolt pattern lol.


Hell it looks like they have an Audi bolt pattern, and a honda pattern, and a chevy pattern, and a BMW pattern, and a Ford pattern, and a Chrysler pattern....... .

Subaru sizes.   :mad:

lance, you may know the answer to this.  Why did Subaru just got to 5x114.3 from 5x100 on the new STi?

I cannot argue with that one bit.  It's sadly the truth.  However, that's fine by me.  I fit right in.   :mrgreen:

Strength.  Really its a non issue for street use, but if you're out on in the nitty gritty beating the piss out of it rallying, it supposedly makes a difference.  I mean if you think about it, spreading the energy from impact over a greater area of the wheel.  i'm not sure how much diff 4.3mm makes, but who knows eh (i'm not a mechanical engineer *wink*).

I know the strength increase from reducing your moment arm by fixturing a wheel further from the center, but I was wondering why, or in better words, what motivated Subaru to change the patterns.  The answer: they are destroying wheels or hubs by fixturing too close to the center.  I figured that is the case, but I was pretty sure you knew the answer whereas I would have been guessing.  Sure enough, you did know it.  Thanks Lance.  ;-)

looking on line for Oettinger/Abt wheels is only mildly frustrating, try- just try to find a listed price.
  Would love to fit 3 piece Oettinger wheels to the S4, but $$$$$??????

 The phrase "if you have to ask, you cant afford em" comes to mind.
Hate that.

Man, I want these on my Passat. But they would look fantastic on your S4. Especially the staggered look. That's what I want soooooo bad. Not sure what how much you were looking to spend though.

What about some Konig Reasons?
They even come with 5 or 6 different bolt patterns in case you want to run them on your Cavalier a couple days out of the week.

i know of a guy in denver selling some brand new 18" RS4 DTM style wheels by hartmann.  he is asking 1,100 for 5 wheels.  i think the RS4 reps look awesome.

he is also selling 17" BBS RC's w/o tires for 600 and w/ tires for 700.
