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 wanted to get a set but they seem to be closed. I wanted the af m02 like what you had on your e55.

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.

Yes. They are out of business. I have the AF-501s currently and have another set as a spare. Good wheels. Im going with Forgiatto's next tho. MASSIVE LIP!
