When I bought my A4 Quattro the wheels had been through a hard life through neglect and harsh country tracks for anyone who knows rural Northern Ireland, they were OEM RS4 wheels and I was quoted £550 to refurbish them, not an awful lot more put the more recent reps on and I've now got a decent set of winter wheels, well pleased with the look

Very nice indeed!

Who quoted you for the refurb?

You call the company Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists in Dundonald , think there works 1st class but expensive

I was going to get a quote from them for my alloys, they've seen better days and will need dipped/shot blasted.

If you ever want any VCDS mods doing let me know as I have the kit.

That's a seriously good looking A4, probably one of the nicest B8's I've seen actually.

Chris, I'll maybe take you up on that offer, some of the tweaks such as the needle sweep would interest me, thanks very much

They look nice, one question though, how are they to drive on? I heard that it is very bumpy and lots of road noise..

To be fair it's like for like, the offset is the same and tyre size remained at 255/35/19, no complaints, I've a rumbly wheel bearing at the minute due to be replaced this week so I don't know about road noise, time will tell!

ok cheers, I love those wheels... but Birmingham is a bugger for potholes and don't think they would last long...
