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!

New Hartmann Wheel styles have arrived!

Written by Dion on October 8, 2008 – 10:24 am -

A late arriving shipment (5:00pm) meant we were gonna be in for a rather late evening unloading 800+ wheels from our recent container.  We’ve been anticipating the arrival of some new Hartmann Wheel styles.

With an unusual quick pace, we were able to unload the entire container in just over 2 and a half hours, over-filling warehouse capacity.

One of the very new Hartmann Wheel styles we are excited to introduce is the all-new Hartmann HRS6 – 204 Wheel.  It’s a unique multi-split 5-spoke design.

This style is being offered with a 5×112 bolt pattern in 18×8 with 32 and 20mm offsets, and 19×8.5 with 38 and 25mm offsets.  These wheels also clear most big brake kits.

We are still offering the Hartmann HRS6 – 172 HC wheel and have brought in that style in an 18×8, 32mm offset – aggressive but fits most applications and also has clearance for most big brake applications.

The Hartmann B7 HRS4-252 Wheel isn’t new to us, however the new “-M” anthracite/machined finish is definitely something we haven’t offered yet.  This new finish offers a touch more class to an already classy wheel.

The difference between the Hartmann B7 HRS4 – 252 and the new Hartmann B7 HRS4 – 252-M (“M” for machined obviously) is very subtle, but different enough to differentiate between the two…

The Hartmann B7-HRS4-252-M is offered only in a 19×8.5 size and 38mm offset and is listed at $295 per wheel.

Remember our Hartmann HRS4 – DTM?  The continuing style has been brought in a half-inch wider at 8.5 in the 18″ diameter.  The 18×8.5 is offered with a 38mm offset as well as a 25mm for the new B8 chassis.

Updates are being made to the Achtuning Online Catalog as I type this.  We will bring in a few customer cars to test-fit some of our new wheels and we’ll update our posts and gallery with pictures as they become available.

Feel free to contact us directly if you have any fitment questions. Wheels are ready to ship!!
