Slipping at 3.5Krpm
When I bought my Audi, it came with a set of RS4 reps, which as time went on, got pretty badly kerbed.
Then recently I got some Audi TT competitions from eBay.
So the original setup was like so:
And with the new wheels, like this:
This of course left me with a badly kerbed set of RS4's doing nothing, which also had decent Toyos on.
Having decided never to go back to 18's for road use after the 17's performed so much more comfortably, then the natural conclusion was to use the RS4's as track wheels to use up the decent Toyos.
A quick clean later and the kerbing was even more obvious so I decided to experiment with Halfords Matt Black and see if I could spray the wheels to give them a different look and hide some of the kerbing:
As you can see, much better.
Here they are on the car:
I reckon it looks pretty decent, the finish wont last, as I didnt laquer them, and Matt paint is incredibly soft, but the beauty is, one £4 tin of Matt Black paint later and all 4 wheels look good as new!!
