Hi
Current wheels are the original sport 5 spoke design

9" width with ET of 44
part number 4E0 601 025 AD

I have a couple of them with slight buckles, only found after I had them re-furbished at a bodyshop.
The tyre fitter noticed the damaged when balancing them up so one is the spare the other on the back at the mo. I have been considering my options as the tyres are needing to be replaced all round now. The wheels I was looking at are from an RS4 convertible so I assume they will take the weight of the 8 as those convertibles are fairly weighty!

It's annoying as my current wheels are all free of marks or curbing so look spot on, even the spare as I had that done too! I would have liked to be able to move the wheels around the car to even up the tyre wear but impossible with a buckle to use on the front. I can't notice it on the rear through the body tbh.
Sat waiting for the windscreen fitter at the moment......so more fun

Thanks for you help
