    anyone seen this 20" audi wheel before?

    lol, yep ebay! It would really be useful to know what audi they are on though..... if I could source another 3 then the plan would be to get them taken back to metal, pollished and laquered but I'm not doing £600+ on each of the rest...... I guess I'll keep my eyes open on ebay...
