Hi,
First post so hopefully it's in the right place and has not been covered a million times before!
I need to replace the 18" RS4 alloys on the '03 A4 Avant Sport I've just bought - they're badly scuffed, the front tyres are worn and need replacing and one rear alloy has been dented.
They're original Audi rims though, and I have two options. I can get a new set of copy RS4 rims with 4 new Pirelli P Zero tyres fitted for £700, or I can buy a second hand set of OEM RS4 rims with 4 Pirelli P Zero tyres, all at about 6mm, for £625.
I'm tempted to pay a little more and go for the new rims and tyres, but what does the quality tend to be like on copy rims? Would it be best to go for the OEM ones? Looking at the mess of my current OEM rims, it doesn't seem they're less prone to kerbing, flaking, chipping and getting dented!
Any advice appreciated.
