4s winter rims
Bit the bullet and bought hard to find 10x18 47et winter rims for my 03 4s. Found one used OEM, paid to have it refurbished and bought a new after market “made in italy” as shown below:
2003 4S 6mt Arctic Silver/Metropol Blue
2009 4S PDK Meteor Grey/Black FSI 4.0 Stage II
2009 4S PDK Meteor Grey/Black FSI 4.0 Stage II

That looks pretty good. What tires are you going with?

Same Pirellis i used last winter, 265s/225s, just not stretching the 265s on 11x18 rears.

Re: 4s winter rims
One more question where did you find the aftermarket made in Italy wheel? Both of my rears have been previously repaired plus a ton of inside flange scrapping because the idiot previous owner ran it through the pull through type car washes! A person would think that common knowledge would be don't do that with 11" wide wheels, but I guess not.

Yeah, 265s on 11s would be a little sketchy. I’ve got 275s on 10s, and they look good and perform well.

I found the website. It is mrfiat.com. Unfortunately he does not list 11x18 Tubro Twist replicas.
