I think they look good in pictures, but I have had people tell me they didn't like the pics of them, but loved them in person.

Thanks. The Beyern center cap is a larger diameter than the factory ones. So some Dremel work on the Beyern cap and the factory ones will slid right in, I just added some epoxy to hold it all together. It still snaps right in and out like the Beyern ones did.

I have pics of no center cap, it still looks good:) JK

What is the proper off set for the Beyern 5's on a 18x8.5?

40mm but you may get some rubbing in the rear...I do.

Since the A4's preload the rear suspension, do they get more rubbing on the rear tires than an M6? Talking about the 18x8.5 with 40mm offset size wheels.

I'm not sure about the M6's....I rub the outside of the sidewall on hard launches, launches while turning and if I go over dips (i.e. RR tracks) at a good rate of speed. 18x8 would have worked better if they made them or an offset of 45mm.

I have an M6. I got rubbing on one side under really hard launches. Didn't take much fender rolling to get rid of it.

I got the 3 month BS 3 months ago. And they are still 3+ months out?
TSW is killing themselves. Thats why Im just going with the VZ's from JHP.
No BS, no rub, No worries.

Maybe if someone thought about how many customers they are losing pushing back the 5's they'd give us some dang straight info for pete's sake!!!

So here is one customer they lost to "lack of the truth" if someone can tell me a rim that will fit my 14" baer's that's resonably priced. Do i have to call Beyerns myself, no problem if i do, just let me know. Then i'll post what i learn back here and i'll do the leg work for another.............ah cheese and crackers, almost said something stupid.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT I FIND OUT. ;)

(Watch how quick we get some details now!! Ssshhhh)
