Looking to get replica RS4 18" alloys for my A4 from these guys (below). They seem professional and maintain their alloys are Italian, and not Chinese 'rubbish'. Anyone had rims from them? If so were they good quality, not too heavy etc? Any feedback welcome.

The whole Italian replica thing is a BS sales tactic in most cases. Even if the wheels say "Made in Italy" id still be skeptical. We have wheels that say made in germany on them and they're from Singapore. TBH you can get them to put "Made on the moon" on them if you want.

http://www.collectionoptional.it/ - A replica wheel distributor set up that site with an Italian domain name. The wheels are made in China.

We buy wheels that are sourced from China and slightly better quality replicas from Singapore. We offer a years warranty against finish and manufacturing defects.

Which wheels are you looking for?

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm interested in those 18" with the F1s.

Is the centre recess the same as the 'std' RS4 alloys (looks slightly deeper in the pic on your website). Also have you got any pics with the audi badge on? Are they plastic inserts or audi stickers. Reason I ask the 2nd question is I got rep Mk4 Anni wheels where the VW sticker came off and it was nearly impossible to get new ones.

I need some advice / throught provoking comments.

I nearly ordered these 18" RS4 reps, but while I was waiting for Keith's anwers to my last questions, I got thinking - shouldn't I go with something slightly different, since I have 19" RS4 reps at the moment. The problem I have is lack fo information - which ones are nearly as light as originals, which ones are better quality, AND I see alloy-wheels.ie have some specials, so I should really consider ordering a set of those. Additionally, I don't want wheels where the audi sticker can easily come off, leaving the wheel looking bare.

Does anyone know of a site where you can check what they all look like on your car? Better still, are the any A4s on here with 18" OEM rims on - if so any links to pics?

Any advice in general, I'm a bit stumped.

Can I suggest this wheel -
