Default Good S4 Wheels?

Just about to buy these from another Rennlister.

Are the offsets good for an S4?

Front: 7 x 16, offset 55, Part # 993.362.114.00

Rear: 9 x 16, offset 70, Part # 993.362.118.01

David,

I'll check my new wheels - I had offsets of 65/60 in the same size. I was worried about brake clearance in the rear, but it was fine. I'll see if there's another 10 mm for comfort.

Don't know if you checked Andrew's wheel fitment calculator.

Fronts are good. You probably will want to go with spacers in the rear for them to look right.

Not true - 87 S4 came with 7x16/8x16. He's looking to prep the car for sale and keep his Carerra IIIs.

Not trying to buy low and sell high, just trying to save my CIII wheels for my GTS and have a nice set of wheels on my S4 when I sell it. Not sure about these though.

simpateko, what is your price on the Boxster wheels?

David,
I'll sell you my stock chrome S4 wheels. Goodyear tires with 3K on them. I'm looking at a 18" set Ryan is selling so the 16" S4's can go.

Default Quick update:

I forgot my kid broke my camera last week, so no pics of the S4 wheels. I'll get some pics tomorrow with my work camera.

What is your price? No more pictures will be necessary, the wheels look good. Are there any notable blemishes on them?
