Hamann5 you're right. I checked Tirerack under Audi and found 18" AT Italia S6 for about $200 each.

Zen, thanks for the detective work. It appears that Breyton is the maker. At least that is the way it seems from the website. Now I wonder if they are available in the US? They are not the esame as the Audi wheel though.

It looks like they are sold by hashimoto (http://www.h-c.co.jp/products/index.htm).

If you dig around on the site you can find the various sizes etc. I oresume they could be ordered if one was to pay the shipping. I think they are made by Schmieden (of Germany) and sold under the Breyton name.
Edit: Further research; they are made by Schmieden and sold under their name as part of a Brembo brake package. Evidentely they have the necessary clearance for the calipers. The whole package I think is sold by Breyton thru Hashimoto. I think they were originally fitted for a E39.

My Ride: 2004 545i / Orient Blue (I think) / Tan int / 116's Wheels / ... my favorite option, the HEATED steering wheel! Previous cars retired: 2006 Corvette Z51, 2002 Corvette Coupe, 2002 Mustang, 1997 Maxima, 1994 Camry, 1990 Supra None, and I mean none compare to this 545i. The 06 Corvette was faster, but not by much...

I like...
