No, Ronal makes Audi OEM wheels. The wheels on the B5 and B6 S4 though were called Avus wheels. Here's Avus' site:

I don't have any personal experience with them but I think the AF-501s look pretty sweet.

I had a set almost four years ago.

They were good. Didn't have any problems with them. I don't remember their weight though.

I'm looking to get some E63 wheels now.

Here's the thread I made when I first put the AVUS wheels on.

I have no idea about their business situation.

What are you interested in learning about?

I think your best bet would be to find a used set. PM or e-mail me and I'll try to locate the buyer of my old set. He may still be on the boards here since that's how he found mine.
