So over the last few weeks I was debating changing the alloys. I did like the wheels I had on the car and I really think they suited the colour! :) .. But I just took a notion to change to something else to give the car a different look!:)

So on the way home today, I picked up these beauty’s (New RS4 Style), and I am over the moon with how they look on the car! :)















What do you think?

Yup, like them @Point_Audi :thumbs up:

I believe the Audi speak name for these alloys is - '5-V-spoke’ design alloy wheels :)

They look good mate!
Are they not the same ones the B8.5 Black Edition Nav's get?

They all look good until the white worm inevitably makes a home .

They look good but then I would say that as I have the same, or very similar. What size are they @Point_Audi?

Cheers @GeoffDunk, they are a really nice alloy!:thumbs up: I went for 18 inch mate as I do a lot of miles with work and they look great with the car now lowered.

Thanks Gaz. I had a set of wheels with a similar finish on the car for over a year and had no white worm, so hopefully I won't have any issues.

They look great, someone on the US Audi website called them petals, which I now wish I could unsee :blink:

I think I'd prefer them if they had the same finish all the way around the rim (not sure if this is the diamond cut or just the angle of the rim) .. they do look superb though ..

Yeah it looks ace, I have the sport suspension that I think is 30mm lower than standard, an extra 10-15mm is what I wanted and your picture has confirmed it!

The RS4/5's are 20" versions with a titanium finish with a machined front face. I went for these as rotors are so common even though I love big rotors, Seat even now fit them as an option to the Ibiza and Leon.

on the black edition they are also titanium with a machined front face
only pic I have is of Gyeon Q2M dissolving those pesky iron deposits
 
I believe this is the only finish Audi do at the moment for these wheels. I've seen an RS4 that has had them refurbished in full silver removing the machined front face, they looked rather subdued and not as striking.

When configuring the car at Audi the wheels look almost black with a machine front, I was assured they wouldn't look as dark and they where right. Its the same picture then used for "myAudi" portal, see below. My wheels look black on there.

Yeah I was actually dissappinted with the finish when I got the car, I wanted them to be as dark as the image we configured, eventually I may get mine done in a darker, anthracite or black

Suits it :)
Worse comes to worse, if white worm attacks, sand them back and have the faces only chrome painted and rest normal paint. I am doing the same on a set of SNA's I am refurbing suffering white worm... but white worm should definately not kick in on these for a very long time!

cant help but feel the new Rotiform SPF's used these as the template :p

They look ace. I've had 19s on mine since around April time. I will take mine off in October for the winter and stick the 18s back on to keep them wheel worm free.
