Oe alloys or reps?

serpico · May 13, 2008

Guys,

Im considering either refurbing my s3 oe alloys or buying a set of rs4 reps (old style 9 spokes). Im just undecided what to do. I know that the oe rims are no doubt lighter & more durable than reps. I know that the reps also have a tendancy to crack. Has anyone else had first had experience of this?

I would consider buying oe rs4 rims but cant find any at a decent price.

Which would be the safe bet? Opinions/advice welcome!

had the same reps , one good pot hole and one ruined rep, (bent)

if you want different alloys get some BBs.

keep oe i had reps on mine when i brought it wasnt long till i was seeking new wheels as one of mine creacked also there so heavy really effected the quality of the steering

Thanks for the advice guys. I have found a company that will do a complete and total refurb of my oe rims and to any colour of my choice for £270. That includes taking tyres off and putting them back on etc.

Think that may be the sensible option..

Cheers

Serpico, go for it mate, thats what my plans are, I have just changed to the S3 Avus alloys and will be looking to get them refurbed pretty soon too....
