We did? Oh… well I guess we have to apologize then as we can’t seem to get enough of it! The new RS6 style, the Hartmann RS6-204 is a unique style that we had to see on yet another local car.
I asked Corey to come in so we could borrow his B6 A4 and test-fit the Hartmann RS6-204 wheels seeing as how the stance on his car would really set things off! The stance, car, and wheel combo did not disappoint!
Came out great! I think Corey’s 19″ R8 wheels are up for sale now…
Just a reminder that the Hartmann RS6-204 wheels are 19×8.5 with a 38mm offset, and pictured here mounted with 245/35-19 tires. Wheels are in stock, ready to ship! Call now and place your order.
… I felt I wanted one last run of summer styling before the incoming cold weather meant it would be best to run an all-season wheel and tire. I took the “winter set-up” BBS RCs off the Golf and mounted these Porsche design Hartmann 367 wheels.
As with most of the Porsche-specific styles offered, the Hartmann 367 is staggered, running 18×8 up front and 18×10 in the rear. Just like our Mk4 Jetta project, H&R DRA Adapters were used to mount the 5×130 Porsche bolt pattern to the 5×100 Volkswagen hub. The Jetta ran 30mm adapters both front and rear but since the front fenders on this Golf are not yet rolled to accommodate a wider stance, I felt it safer to run a set of 20mm adapters I had laying around.
Since the car is lowered with STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Overs, and a 10″ wheel isn’t the customary width to run on the back of a VW Mk4, smaller tires were mounted to ensure fender clearance resulting in a “stretched” look. Now this small of a tire is really pushing the limits and is not recommended for most, but with proper installation and tire pressure monitoring, there will not be any issues whatsoever running this set-up.
Snow season is not far off and it’s time to change those 19s out to some dedicated winter tires to ensure you have traction when you need it most. Konrad brought in his B6 S4 to change from his 19″ Forged Hartmann DTM-7s to a set of 17″ Hartmann RS6-172HCs with Dunlop snow tires.
The 19″ DTM-7s look great on Konrads Grey S4, the Bridgestone RE-750s are a decent tire for rain use but not recommended for snow which we do get a bit of around here.
The Hartmann Forged wheels have been very popular on the B6 and B7 S4s due to their combination of light weight and high strength.
The aggressive ET32 offset of the forged wheels pushes the face of the wheel right to the edge of the fender without rubbing.
Konrad has the smaller A4 sport style centercaps, the Hartmann forged wheels will accept a variety of OEM Audi centercaps.
These were finished in a custom Porsche grey finish, Hartmann offers the wheels in either a polished or flat black powdercoated finish.
Konrad took advantage of our Achtoberfest sale to save a bit on the 172-HC wheels. He ordered in the Dunlop snow tires through our link to Tire Rack for free mounting and balancing and since he’s local he saved on sales tax on the tires as well. The same centercap and lug caps that were used on the forged wheels were transferred over to the 172-HCs and he was all set!
The Hartmann RS6 - 172HC is available in 17″ and 18″, the 17×8.0″ ET35 version was chosen for winter usage.
The “HC” of the 172HC stands for “High Clearance” as Hartmann designed these wheels to be able to fit Audis with large brakes which other wheels may not fit.
The 172-HC can use an OEM Audi centercap which we have available for $60-set, a nice savings from dealer costs.

James brought us his B6 A4 cabriolet to pick out a set of wheels. After a few visits to our showroom over the last few months for ECU and injector upgrades, it was determined today that the Hartmann RS4-252M would be his next weapon of choice for his B6 A4, 19×8.5 et38 to be exact. We wrapped them with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires in 235/35-19 and we’re all pretty happy with the results!
We announced earlier last week about the arrival of one of our new wheel styles, the Hartmann RS4-252M. The “M” stands for “machined” and this wheel is exactly that - a machined face with deep-colored pockets and inner wheel barrel that makes the face of the wheel “pop”.
Ryne had an interest in some of our 19″ wheels but wasn’t quite sure without seeing them in person which set-up to go with, especially with news about a container arriving from Italy with a few new styles. After installing the STaSIS coil-over kit on his B6 A4, Ryne had us install our latest Hartmann RS4-252M, the machined version of the split-seven spoke RS4 style wheel. The deeper-colored pockets and wheel barrel make the face of the wheel stand out, offering a nice contrast to Ryne’s black A4. 19×8.5 and a 38mm offset is the size available to fit the B6 A4 and the stance is just about right!
The last container from Italy brought us the Hartmann S5-209 Wheel in 19×8.5 and a 38mm offset - this allows us to fit the wheel on vehicles like the B5, B6, and B7 A4s and S4s, C5 A6s, B5 Passats, and a few others…
The B7 A4 below was brought to us for a STaSIS Streetsport Suspension upgrade and Jake had waited for the container’s arrival so he could be the first to have the S5 wheels on his A4. We couldn’t be happier with the results!!
This beautiful white B6 A4 was dropped off this morning to receive an APR turbo-back exhaust. APR’s full stainless-steel exhaust system is currently 15% off during our Achtoberfest Sale which put the price of the upgrade with installation just over the price of the exhaust at full price!
So first thing’s first, out with the old:
We all know the car already looks sharp, but the new 3.5″ rolled and stainless-steel exhaust tips help tie in the polished lips of her Lexion wheels, LED tails, and Audi trunk badge.
