I believe the $699 RS4 rim are replica for sure with its price. I'm going to buy direct from the manufacture which is Velocity.

As for the rubbing issues, I have the following experience:
1. I've put the 2 ET38 Breyton Magic on my car and I haven't got any rubbing.
2. When iForged first shipped me the rims, they are in ET15 which is the offset of regular E60, which also means that the rim is closer to the car and I still haven't got any rubbing.
So I'm pretty confident that I will be fine with the RS4 rim. (cross my finger )

The main main reason of me getting rid of the iForged is because my neigbour right next to me has just got himself exactly the same rim that I have. He saw my rims before and love them so he's ordered the exact same thing for his E90. That makes me look a little stupid with the same thing on an E60. So I've decided to change.

But isn't the quality of the iForged way better than the replica RS4 wheels? I'm sure they're also lighter. Seems like you're sacrificing a lot just to look different from you neighbor.

In terms of quality, iForged quality without doubt will be WAY better than the replica and Breyton. But, quality doesn't mean much to me. For example, while I'm driving with the $$$ iForged, I'm very caution in terms of pot holes and afraid they will bent the rim. I won't go to machine car wash because I'm afraid the track will damage the rim. That's not very enjoyable when drving on an expensive set of rims.
If I got the replica, first of all I'll have the look I want in a low price. And I will no longer be suffering from those "be careful here" and "be careful there" problems. If I've really damaged the rims, then hell with them I can go get another set for a new look.

How about this... Hire a guy to steal your neighbors rims, sell them on eBay, keep your iForged and buy another set of nice, custom made aftermarkets so you have 2 sets of nice rims.

I'm right next door to him and I know his schedule. He's a drunk dude every Saturday night. You are welcome to come and I'll let you know the time to DO it.

I like the RS4 wheels, but not on our cars because our fenders are not as flared as the RS4's. Maybe if you are planning to drop it, then it could look good as well.

Hahahahahaha!

First wheels are nice, too bad they made them for Audi's...im sure you can find similar looking wheels not identical to the audis....
it might be just me, but i feel like they resemble the CSL wheels to an extent....

Here's another picture of the RS4 rims in gunmetal color. I think they will look really nice on a Alpine White E60. Does the actual RS4 rims comes in gunmetal color too?
