Hi i caught my front offside wheel on a kerb i now have a 6" mark on the edge of the rim, what i now need to know is what colour they are & where can i buy the paint?. the wheels are on a A5 3.0 tdi 2007 the size is 255/35/19". five "Y" spoke alloy wheels greyish colour. nearest Audi dealer is 40 mile away. A colour code would be a great help.

Are they rotor style alloys? I'm guessing you could just call Audi with your reg number & they'd be able to give you the paint code.

I think Audi use Wurth paint

Of course! The Y shaped thing just occurred to me as I was clicking back into the thread. They're S5 wheels aren't they? Or am I 2 for 2 being wrong? :o

Thank's A6_Chris. That is my wheel design. Also while looking on the net for Audi alloy wheel repair paint i came across a "dark power silver" it's a non metalic colour which my wheels seem to be, have you came across this paint before?. Having said that i might take Brycie's advice & try phoning my "local" Audi dealer

ring audi or take a wheel off and look at the numbers stamped inside the wheel

you should find a long part number which you can google and maybe find the paint code off that.

i take it they're genuine wheels? ie, not replicas?
