ACHTUNING! - 425.895.0000

We were visited by three Pacific Northwest (vwvortex forum) members yesterday… They were here to pick up new sets of 19s for their Audis.

First, we have Mike and his beautiful wife Charlotte’s C5 A6 2.7T… Lowered on KW suspension, this car hugs the 19″ Hartmann G5 wheels so tightly, the tie rods are about to pop!

I hear Mike plans to bring the fronts down even more!!

Then we’ve got “Gaki”. Originally planning to go with a set of clearanced TSW wheels, he talked himself into our Hartmann line with the AR8 wheels in 19×8.5 and a 38mm offset. Lowered on STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Overs, the stance on this B7 A4 with the R8 wheels is just stunning. Good choice, Anthony.

All 19″ Hartmann Wheel purchases are currently eligible to receive a set of 235/35-19 Dunlop Sport Maxx tires mounted and balanced for free and at a cost of $600 for the set - a $200 savings from leading tire distributors like Tire Rack!!

Josh met us at the Waterwerks show recently where he had a chance to talk to us in person about his plans for his Jetta GLI. After looking over the wheel choices we had available it was decided to go with the Hartmann B7 RS4 - 252s and a STaSIS coilover kit. The 19 inch Hartmann B7 RS4 - 252s were an interesting choice as it was the first time we had gone with such an aggressive fitment on a MkV, normally we would do an ET48 offset on an 8.5″ wide wheel for a MKV fitment however this setup is an ET42 which pushes the wheel out by another 6mm!

By the time everything was buttoned up it was getting pretty late and the light was fading. We managed to get 2 passable pictures and will get a few more showing details of the wheel and tire fitment when Josh brings his GLI back to the shop

New Lower Prices!

We have a few sets of wheels we’re looking to clear out here to help get our warehouse organized. Please let us know if you have any questions on fitments or anything else

The Hartmann S5 - 209 wheels are sized at 20×9.0″ Et25 which fills out the D3s fenders much better than the stock 19×8.5″ ET45 wheels, which gives the car a nice aggressive look with out any rubbing issues.

This setup places the front wheels right at the edge of the fender. Owners looking for the ultimate look would have the option to use small spacers on the rear wheels to get them as close as possible to the edge of the rear fender.

The S5 - 209 wheels have a machined face and lip with anthracite painted pockets, the entire wheel is finished with a clearcoat. The wheels are designed to use the OEM Audi lugbolts so there is no need to purchase additional hardware with the wheel.

Falken FK-452 tires in a 255-35-20 size were chosen on this package, the Falkens are a performance summer tire which can also handle our typical Seattle rain very well. The 19×8.5″ S5-209 wheels are priced at $295-each, the 20×9.0″ version is $385-each, we have Falken tires available for both sizes and of course we have our Tire Rack link for those looking for other options.

Hartmann Currently has the S5 - 209 available for Audi A5, S5, D3 A8 and S8, allroad and B7 RS4 fitments. Fitments for the A4, S4, A6 and MkII are coming in around the end of September.

If you have any questions or would like to place an order please give us a call at 1-877-722-4886 or send us an E-mail, click here to shop online on Achtuning.com for Hartmann S5 - 209 replicas. You can click on any of the above pictures to see higher resolution pictures in our gallery

Being that the All-Road is as close to a cross-over vehicle without really being one, 20″ wheels would tend to not be as practical. Here at Achtuning though, we’re not always about “practical”… Especially when it just looks so good!!

The Hartmann QS-10 is a replica of one of the Audi Q7 wheels and is available in bolt patterns to fit both Audis and Porsches. Pictured below is the 20×9, 5×112 version with a 40mm offset mated with 25mm front and rear H&R DRA style spacers. Tire size is 275/30-20 but we intend to go down to a 255/30 since it rubs slightly on sharp turns. On to the pictures…

Check out the Hartmann QS-10 in our online catalog for pricing and details!

It’s tough… I have yet to see the Hartmann 252 wheel NOT compliment any of the VWs or Audis we put them on.  There are a few that we consider as a “classic” wheel style - no matter what you put them on, they will continue to look good.  It seems the Hartmann 252 wheel is one of them.

Today, we had a customer drive down from Vancouver, B.C. with friends and family to enjoy the sights of Seattle while we added wheels and tires to their car.  Below is a B6 A4 1.8T rockin’ our Hartmann 252 in a 19×8.5″ size and 38mm offset.  Wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires in 235/35-19, the aggressive stance pushes the wheel towards the edge of the fender to give that “bulldog” stance that we at Achtuning like to see.

Jose stopped by yesterday to pick up a set of our 19×8.5″ Hartmann AR8 wheels for his Mk5 GLI. They are a 48mm offset wrapped with 235/35-19 Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires. With the future plans Jose has in store for his Jetta, I’m excited to see how the wheels will further compliment the car. On to pics…

Please visit our online catalog and visit the Hartmann Wheel category to view further details about the Hartmann AR8 wheel. In stock, ready to ship or install!

Todd is our resident “track-nut” and he put on a set of black powder-coated CSL replica wheels for his e36. This will be Todd’s track set-up for when he attends local track events, auto-crosses, and driving courses.

We were lucky enough to have not one but two red B7 A4s here for some mods today, both had our ever popular STaSIS Streetsport coilovers installed. The STaSIS Streetsport coilovers allow the ride height to be set exactly where you want it, they are also preset for perfect damping by STaSIS and are very comfortable while allowing for better feedback and less body lean during cornering. Achtuning offers Free Shipping for our our customers in need of delivery :).
The first B7 we finished today will be getting some custom wheels on it soon and the other was outfitted with our Hartmann 19″ A-R8 wheels and 235-35-19 Bridgestone RE-750s. This cleans us out of 19″ A-R8 wheels until the next shipment arrives but the replacements are already in route and we will have them available in 19×8.5″ with an assortment of different offsets.
