When Crosby is driving around in the elements, braving snowy and icy conditions, it’s important for him to look good doing it! (We all know he’s not alone.) Since coil-overs aren’t quite yet in the cards during these crazy winter conditions for his recently acquired Audi (B7) S4, Crosby felt it was necessary to properly “stance” his ride in the meantime. As always, H&R’s Trak+ Wheel Spacers are our solution in helping our fellow Euro-car enthusiasts achieve the look they’re after.

Measuring 12mm up front, and 20mm out back, H&R spacers pushed the factory 18″ wheels out to match the edge of the fender, giving the car a much more aggressive look, and a wider track for better handling.

Tim needed new wheels, and bad! Running around with a cracked wheel (*cough* don’t buy chinese wheels!! *cough*) is no fun so replacements were a must. And when you’re running around in a Nogaro Blue B5 Audi S4 you better have good-looking shoes to match… Enter the Hartmann HRS4-DTM Wheel. The DTM has been a consistent top-seller for Hartmann and with the new 8.5″ width it’s definitely going to continue being a fast-moving classic! Bolting right up without any spacing and having plenty of clearance for the B5 S4′s obese HP2 calipers, the stance is perfect on the 18×8.5″ rollers with a 38mm offset.

Plenty of these Hartmann HRS4-DTM wheels are in stock! Take advantage of Achtoberfest Sale pricing at 10% off before the end of the month!!

On a whim, we decided to throw on a set of the Hartmann HRS6-204 wheels on our resident B5 S4 Avant so we could see them on a car…

… Still waiting to get a lowered B6 or B7 in to test-fit these with though but a much better-looking wheel out of the box than anticipated.

It wasn’t very long after we completed Bob’s B5 RS4 conversion project that the car was driven down Hwy 101 from Washington to California where it would reside for almost a year. Just last week Bob brought the car back up to Washington (coming back up the same way he went down) to give us an opportunity to show it off at this weekend’s WaterWërks event.

Bob’s B5 S4 received the full RS4 conversion treatment when it was here at Achtuning. The APR Stage III kit for the B5 S4 is an unbeatable combination of factory RS4 components and APR programming bumping stock horsepower to an APR claimed 447hp and 467ft-lbs of torque! Further, this is a daily driven car that Bob reports drives perfectly each day without a single issue.
