but some time they put 1 wheel up and the price is for 4
rep wheels only cost 1600 to 1700 each for 19" so it can be for reps need to phone them up to know.

The one in photo has been sold already, but they will have another set coming in this afternoon. According to that guy this is a very high quality replica, they have seen other rep on this model but didn't like the quality so didn't carry this.
cool did you ask them how much wight it is.
27lbs each light the real thing or less?

Thanks for the clarification.
The rim looks nice in the picture. Can't even tell a difference to the real thing from a distance.

Song Bill, this is the correct match for your car
http://www.bbs-japan.co.jp/pro/wheel/lm-2.pdf

Model LM 154 19 x 8.5 32 5 /112.0 PFS ¥137,550 * AUDI?BENZ

I've checked Tirerack, your car's offset should be 35mm and 5x112 for PCD on 19". The only downside is BBS LM model doesn't offer concave rims (like 19x10") for rear which looks even more bad a$$!

Quoted from their website:
8.5" weights about 11KG
and 10" weights about 11.5KG
