May not actually affect any of the Q wheels but if there's was diamond cut and it's not worth it as any grit etc getting in between can actually cause more damage and damage you wouldn't necessarily see until too late.

I better get more involved ... about what diamond cutting process etc actually is then.. , I know alloys some corrode quicker than the other..

So it can actually damage tyres &/or some Audi alloy itself or both? :-0

It's relatively easy to spot if you have diamond cut wheels as the face looks very shiny like bare alloy with very faint lines under the lacquer, and often have a different colour on the insides of the spokes.

I haven't seen any of the Q7 wheels up close so not sure if they conform to the above. I'm always wary of what salesmen say when it comes to stuff like this.

Shhhhh! Where a woman that isn't a die hard petrolhead is involved, even wheels with a 55" side profile are still ripe for curbing.

I actually am getting "night black". Is that the same?

**Skippy73** · 05-07-2016,06:01 AM

I got night black as I was at my limit when ordering the car and didn't want to pay for paint lol.

I love it though so far but you have to wash it with kit gloves or the swirl marks will show and the high gloss will appear dull.
