Wheel help needed

[Senna]

This has probably been asked several times before but I'm looking to swap the rims out on my 4 month old A4 Cabriolet S-Line. I'm pretty much bored with the 9 spoke 18" wheels (same wheels as my previous Audi TT) so was looking at the 18" RS4 design.

I don't really fancy paying Audi £1200 + for them but do not want rubbish either. I understand the wheels mainly come from two sources, Far East and Italy. Now from what I've read on various forums it seems the Italian made wheels are better quality. Is this correct?

Phoned Rochford tyres today and they said there was no difference between the Italian and Far East wheels??? They were quoting around £300 for the four RS4 18" wheels (including £10 per wheel to swap my tyres over).

Now I don't normally look a gift horse in the mouth but this seems almost too cheap? I'm pretty sure these are the far eastern wheels so am worried about the quality.

Thanks for that!
Any way of telling where their replica ranges come from?

In the description of some of the replicas it says Made in Italy.
Probably best to ask them the question

Thanks again. Will give them a call tomorrow.
