Don’t buy random reps. They’re probably ****e.

Thanks shauno and dutch for your wisdom.

Thanks shauno and dutch for your wisdom.

Without pointing a finger I'd also recommend shopping at a reputable tyre/wheel shop.

You should include that model in your forum signature.

I've been looking at so much wheel info, and pictures of wheels, its doing my head in.
Never bought wheels before, so its a learning experience.
I'm detecting that "aftermarket", "replica" and "golf style" are likely code words for craptastic quality wheels.
As already advised by dutch above, genuine oem wheels are a scarce commodity.
And importing some oem Pretoria's from Germany is excessively expensive.
AG have some designs that are mildly appealing.

What is the quality and reputation of Avant Garde (AG) wheels ? Thoughts ?
Also, existing (original) oem Cadiz wheels are 19 x 8 with ET50.
AG Blade wheels are 19"x8" with ET45, so the wheels will move outwards 5mm.
Will this 5mm cause any problem/s on Mk7 R ?
Thanks to the wheel gurus.

The extra 5mm is fine.

19x8.5 ET45 is also common, which are 11mm over stock and rarely cause issues.

Re: OEM wheels, there’s plenty of Audi wheels available on eBay/etc. just make sure they’re the right offset (45-55)
