BlakeP Perfects the B8, and All it Took Was a Set of HREs
Quote:
We at Fourtitude are of the camp that believes a set of HRE Monoblok wheels raises any car's attractiveness to the next power. In some cases, the right set can even boost it by a factor of three. The B8 A4 isn't one of those cases. In fact, Audi's latest, most beautiful A4 ever leaves such little room for improvement that the addition of M40 model HRE wheels to Blake P's Quartz Gray A4 2.0T ups its sexiness by a small, basic-math percentage. The fact that he opted for the S-line package made his project of improving the car even more difficult.

Blake would probably give us quite a choking if we didn't make a big deal of his wheel choice in person, though. Behind the stunning surface hide a good amount of time, money, and frustration. You see, HRE M40s weren't actually available for the B8 when Blake P went to order up a set. However, he wasn't willing to settle for less. His two previous projects, a Mercedes-Benz C230 coupe and a C230 sedan (he's a recent convert to the Audi world, swayed from his family's M-B collection by Audi's latest onslaught of performance cars like the RS 4, R8, and this latest A4) involved a series of less expensive modifications that resulted in frequent changes, frequent headaches, and more money spent on piles of cheaper parts than it would've cost to do each project right from the beginning.

Not quite, though that might be nicer. FFM= Frankfurt/Main's abbreviation.

Didn't realize that was my first post....been on this site lurking for so long. Speaks for the quality of the "Fourtitude" car!

Thank you for the welcome!

Definitely a cool car. Not my kind of rims, but definitely pulled of well.
