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.
Just wanted to share pictures of a recent suspension/wheel/tire combination we recently installed on a B7 A4 S-Line. We have yet to see the Hartmann AR8 wheels on a car where it didn’t look good… then the stance the STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Overs gives the car all around helps transform a sharp-looking B7 A4 into an even better looking head turner!
Hartmann AR8 wheels pictured above are 19×8 with a 35mm offset and wrapped in 235/35-19 Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires. This wheel & tire combination can be had for $1600 as part of our current 19″ Package offer.
We put some Hartmann 19″ B7 RS4 replica wheels on a new C6 A6 today. There happened to be a rusty old Hyundai cargo container here that we decided to use for a bit of a photo backdrop
A customer of ours sent these pictures in for us today, the composition and quality of the photos he submitted is above the norm and it would be a shame not to share them with you all. Here are some of his words as well: “Dear Hartmann/Achtuning,
Thank you so much for the wheels. They are the best visual upgrade I’ve done to my car. I truly believe that solid wheel and tire combo can make or break a car. That is exactly why I wanted your product on my car. I cannot stress how happy I have been since I put them on the car. The finish is nothing short of perfect, really exactly what I was looking for.
I posted some pictures of them on Audizine and someone under your Achtuning screen name told me to shoot you guys an email with some pictures of them on my car for your website.
So here are some of my favorite pictures I’ve recently taken. I did not resize them, but I figured that would be the best bet considering your probably going to alter them again before posting them on your site. I hope you guys like them.
The car is a 2000 A4 with Evolution R5’s in 18×7.5 et 30 : ) “
Thanks Nick, We do like the pics and are glad you like the wheels, thank you very much!
Tom had previously picked out the wheels on our hartmannwheels.com website, then gave me a call to ask how we’d thought the Concept Nuvo’s would look on his C5 A6. I knew right away the wheel in a 19″ would be a great look for the car so it was just a matter of bringing him in, and what perfect time to do so as we have this 19″ package on sale for $1600. Needless to say Tom seemed very pleased with the pricing and immediate availability as he came in a couple hours later to close the deal.
A “before” shot…
And after:
When a question about APR programming came up, it was all over… We had Tom hooked on the modding bug and APR Stage 1 software was installed.
Whether it’s an older VW or newer Audi, Hartmann’s 19″ DTM RS4 wheel is a classy and popular look! Check out today’s B5 S4 install and see for yourself…
We’ll try and get Chris back in sometime soon so we can bring the ride down a touch for that perfect stance.
This was a pre-sale deal for Campbell-Nelson; a local VW dealership. The customer wanted different wheels for his R and had Heath, his salesperson, work the new wheels into the vehicle purchase.
The customer decided on the Hartmann S8 - 454 replica wheels in 19×8.5″ ET 45 with 235-35-19 Bridgestone RE-750 tires. Heath brought the R32 to us to have the TMPS swapped over from the original wheels to the Hartmann’s and have the Bridgestones Mounted and balanced and installed on the car.
The 19 inch S8 - 454s fill out the large fenders on the R32 a bit more than the stock 18s for a more aggressive look while still retaining the OEM style.
With the Spring Season kicking off in full gear, wheels like the Hartmann G5s are flying out the door. Glad we were able to get a few snaps of the silver on silver combination before Wayne left…
These 19×8 Hartmann G5 wheels are currently available with a 35mm offset, and will fit most current Audi applications. Please call us if you need any fitment assistance. Remember, free shipping on all Hartmann wheels until the end of March!!
Yesterday’s post described the arrival of the newest Ohlin’s SL coilover kit from STaSIS Engineering. Today we had the opportunity to install the kit on Chris’ B7 S4, a certified pre-owned purchase from Barrier Audi.
The interesting part though, is that the purchase and installation of this coilover kit was arranged through Barrier Audi. That’s right, the cost of the parts and installation was built into the purchase of this vehicle!!
Chris does not live in Washington so Barrier Audi dropped the car off on Wednesday evening for the installation of the suspension and 19″ B7 RS4 replica wheels the following day.
Work was started today at Achtuning, the STaSIS suspension went in smoothly and the car was finished up in about 4 hours.
Of course having the right tools for the job helps.
Chris wanted the car a bit lower than stock but not too low
Chris will be flying into Seattle to pick up his S4 and drive it 1,200 miles back to home over the weekend.
Thanks Chris, we wish you a safe and enjoyable drive home!

Dave stopped by yesterday searching for new wheels for his MkV R32, he hadn’t planned on a wheel purchase this soon but a large rock ended up helping his decision, ouch!
On the plus side Dave was able to show off his manly tire changing skills to his girlfriend
Having no luck finding replacement MkV R32 wheels locally he stopped by our shop and eventually decided to go with the Hartmann B7 RS4 - 252 wheels in 18″ as he wanted to keep his tires which were still in good condition.
In the end Dave was happy to have the new wheels on the car, the Hartmann wheels were each about half the price of an OEM replacement wheel from VW plus he saved over 11lbs by going with the RS4 reps! Check out the Hartmann B7 RS4 replica wheels for the MkV R32 here:
