Can’t go wrong with a simple design like Hartmann’s HTT-256-GS Wheel

Written by Dion on December 18, 2009 – 12:13 pm -

Did another test-fit of the Hartmann HTT-256-GS Wheel on Audi’s latest A4 body style. Could a basic design like this look any better?

Admittedly the car needs to be lowered but let’s get past that for a second since coilovers are a simple upgrade away. The way the spokes dive in towards the center of the wheel, the slight twist in each spoke, and the simple lines… all are ingredients that go well with the elegant body lines of the Audi A4.

Hartmann HTT-256-GS:
* 19×8.5 +38
* $285 ea.

The website galleries are being updated as I type this. Look for pictures of the Hartmann Euromesh 3 also featured on this Audi A4. Just keep in mind they’re not sporting the appropriate tire size (shown w/ 235s when it should have 245 or even 255s).

New running gear

Written by Dion on July 9, 2009 – 2:27 pm -

Daniel’s Audi (B6) A4 was in need of some new running gear so it was left with us to receive one of the last sets of Hartmann HRS4-DTM Wheels in 19×8, et35. Daniel also knew that throwing 19s wouldn’t be enough to correct the over-all stance and appearance on the car and felt the Stasis Streetsport Coil-Over kit would be the best option for him.

The “Achtuning Signature Ride Height” puts the car just above the top of the tire, and when the suspension settles it should be about the perfect set-up.

18″ Hartmann HR8 MS Wheels look good on B5 A4 1.8T

Written by Dion on February 16, 2009 – 4:46 pm -

Jason stopped in to get a set of updated wheels for his B5 Audi A4 1.8T. This A4 had once adorned the TSW catalogs in full ABT gear when the B5 Audi A4 first came out and was show-cased with a set of Imola Wheels. Ten years later, albeit without the full kit, Jason reports this car has proved to be quite a reliable daily for him and his family.

18×8″ Hartmann HR8 MS Wheels were Jason’s choice and within minutes, the new shoes were on!

The 32mm offset pushes the face of the wheel pretty close to the fender’s edge, giving this A4 the right stance with its sport drop. No rubbing issues or anything either as long as the recommended 225/40-18s are used.

Hartmann DTMs are a time-less classic!

Written by Dion on January 28, 2009 – 4:21 pm -

Mons came by with his B5 Audi A4 1.8T. He purchased the car with a set of after market wheels that did not suit his A4 and since new tires were needed, what better opportunity to get into something a bit more Audi-style specific!

The Hartmann DTM Wheels are 18×8.5 with a 38mm offset. With a mild drop the stance for this Audi A4 should be just right.

Hartmann HRS4-DTM Wheels:  $265 ea.

19″, RS6-style Hartmann 204 Wheels

Written by Dion on January 6, 2009 – 9:59 am -

The new RS6 sports some fantastic-looking wheels with a unique tri-split spoke design, and we’ve now had a chance to install our similarly designed Hartmann HRS6 – 204 Wheels on both a B6 and B7 Audi A4 – I could not be happier with the results!  At 19×8.5 inches and a 38mm offset, the stance is perfect.  Both cars below have been lowered with STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Overs.

RS6-style Hartmann 204 Wheel:

  • 5×112
  • 19×8.5, 38mm offset – $295 per wheel

Avant in the tropics

Written by Dion on November 25, 2008 – 1:20 pm -

Then there’s Andrew in Hawaii…

He had contacted me about a month ago talking about the different things he wanted to do to his B7 Audi S-Line A4 Avant. He had settled on some Hartmann HRS4 – 252 HB wheels in a 19×8.5″ size and 38mm offset. We sent the wheels wrapped with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires in a 235/35-19 properly mounted and balanced so Andrew would be able to bolt the new wheels to his car immediately after opening the packaging. He was kind enough to send us the pictures he took with the new wheels.

To improve the stance and handling, Andrew called us back to order up a set of STaSIS Streetsport Coil-overs , a pair of H&R 8mm spacers , and an OEM RS4 rear sway bar we picked up from Barrier Audi. He also added the Carbonio Cold Air Intake to the order and we heard the items safely reached the tropics. We look forward to more updates and progress pictures from Andrew as this Avant progresses into one mean grocery getter!

DIY Wheel Finishes… Why not?

Written by Dion on November 11, 2008 – 3:04 pm -

Mark stopped by to show off the new finish on his “winter” set-up… These are Hartmann New Turbo wheels in 18″. Mark had picked these up last year but decided to rattle-can them black for this winter season – a far improvement from the previous look that goes well with Mark’s smoked theme.
