Hi all

Just wondered if anyone's changed the wheels on their B9?

If so what did you go for? Any problems with pressure monitoring system?

I'm thinking about a set of black/polished RS7 style as long as I can find the right offset. I'm leasing so I grudge paying to upgrade the alloys (Sport model) when I won't get anything back at the end of the lease.

I havent changed alloys and probably won't.

The tyre pressure monitoring works on road resistance and is calibrated to a set of tyres by the press of a button so no worries there.

surely its gonna cost you more to buy a new set of alloys than what you lose on the leasing? Even if you can flog them as second hand later? You would also have to invest in a new set of tyres?

That's good to know about the pressure monitoring system.

To upgrade to the wheels I would have wanted on the Sport trim would have been £850 - or £37 a month extra on the lease which I would never have seen any return for.

Reckon I could get a set of similar/nicer alloys with tyres for £800-£1000 with resale value in a couple of years time
