Finally took the time to take a few pics of the new wheels/tires...last pic is what we’re coming from (my winter set).
The Hardware:
- 19" Rotiform BLQ in machined silver
- Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 XL 245/35/19
- 10mm spacers on the front
- 17.5mm on the rear
I think I may have gone a little too aggressive with the rear spacers, may eventually go to a 12.5mm in the future. Tires so far are great - haven’t thrown them around much since my alignment is kinda of off right now.

I dig the winter setup a lot more.

I’m curious why the 245s? Didn’t the S4 have wider meat than that from the factory?
My wife’s A4 has the optional 19s with 255 tires, and I’m thinking going to 275 plus some 10mm spacers would be sweet.

Nice wheels! As you mentioned, the rear spacers may be a bit much.
Make sure you use some kind of sealant, because those must be a pain in the ass to clean

That is a great look! Can you get Audi center caps for rotoforms? My only gripe with my winter set for the S3 is that I can’t find Audi centers that will fit, and things like this bother me haha.

Looks good, and I suppose with the stock ride height you’re probably not rubbing but the offset with the spacers looks janky to me. On both ends.

I’m actually debating if I want another set of V12 Evos after these are done. Thinking moving to DWS06 or if the Pilot 4S shows up for 45.

I had 255 stock on my S4, then replaced them with 275 contis, and they looked perfect with the OEM peeler wheels.

Little to much poke for my liking, but looks good!

I’m curious, since I’ve been interested in the Rotiform style wheels lately. Especially BLQ. But, aren’t they made to order? Why the spacers if they’re spec’ed to order?

Got them on eBay for about $800 brand new. The custom ones are usually the 2-piece multi-colored ones.
It was actually a huge ordeal ordering these things. I had an order through ECS Tuning in the color I originally wanted...
A few days after I ordered, it was backordered indefinitely. I emailed Rotiform and they notified me that the BLQ was discontinued, and that I’d never receive the wheel. I searched basically the entire internet, only to settle on the machined silver from a vendor off eBay. This was like a 2 month ordeal.
Why spacers? I was mostly worried about rub, and it looks a little more aggressive with them. I definitely wasn’t intending to have this much of a poke out, however.

That’s quite a mess! On the bright side, you do have BLQ wheels. Unfortunately, it sounds like I never will.
I think the bright silver looks really good, and $800 is not a bad deal at all. It could have been much worse!
