Need a new alloy wheel

[andyb74]

I have just managed to destroy an alloy wheel on my new 2015 FL A6 s-line. They are the std 18" variant. Any ideas what cost I am looking at to buy a new one and swap tyre?
Ps aquaplaned at a roundabout and lucky it was just the alloy that got damaged!

I'd say you're probably better off ringing around the scrap yards. I had something similar in my Volvo V70 about 10 years ago and it ended up being cheaper getting a complete new set of alloys (including tyres) than buying a single matching wheel from Volvo, then having to buy a tyre on top!

Plenty on eBay.

Hi thanks for the reply. The car is virtually brand new so I want to replace with a new alloy. Can't see any on eBay?

Then a call to the dealer tomorrow then! :)

Try TPS for price without dealer markup

Yes but allowing for the fact that he may not know the Audi part no, he'll have to speak to the dealer to get that along with the price :)

the alloy should have the part number stamped into it, usually where the bolts go behind a cap, or failing that somewhere on the back.

[MarkTM]

But not usually visible/readable unless the wheel is taken off :)

Andy, after you've gotten the audi and TPS price it's still worthwhile checking if there are any new ones on Ebay, as the owner of a new car could have upgraded the alloys.

You don't need the part number TPS can check using the chassis number.

Oooh sorry, I didn't know all C7 A6's came with the same alloy wheels and new owners couldn't spec something different?

So TPS will feed into the data sheet/sticker on the build and options taken....wow never knew that!

Bit 'sparky' today are we?

[MarkTM]

No honestly wasn't aware that the alloys ordered were all from the factory and not dealer fitment options.

[andyb74]

Thanks all £660 from Audi or £65 to refurb! Have now got the part number (but left it at work) Will check eBay again for new but will probably go with refurb and if not happy then look again.

Quick slightly off-topic question. From the TPS website it looks like they supply trade customers only. Do they supply to individuals as well,or do I just try and blag it?

[MarkTM]

I've never ordered from TO for the same reason, my Indy does and then puts a small Mark - up to still cone in cheaper than Audi.Let us know if you have any success with the blag :)

They sell over the counter to the public. I've got a few things myself.
