Bit of advice please?. My 2018 SQ5 has the 21'' polygon alloys with the Pirelli tyres fitted done 5ooo mile in perfect condition. I really like the other 21" alloys the twin spoke v design ones & have been offered a set which I think I'm going to have. My question is I've no idea what the polygon ones are worth or what to ask? Any advice appreciated please or if any body fancy's a set let me know with an offer.
Presumably what you are paying for the new wheels will give you a good idea? As an option on new they are both the same price. Other than that they’re worth as much as someone is willing to pay I looked for some on eBay a while ago but they don’t come up often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
...........thanks pauly. I will stick them on ebay & put a good reserve on them & if they don't get close to what i want i'll keep them & then when i need tyres ill use these ones & then just take what i can for the alloys.
Photo please; what are the "21'' polygon alloys" you refer to? Having checked the Q5/SQ5 sales Brochures I can't seem to find that specific "polygon alloys" reference... So please help; a new SQ5 owner here but oh so anxious to learn...
Thanks RS3 S., If these are the ones you refer to as in "I really like the other 21" alloys the twin spoke v design ones" I can tell you they're darn easy to keep clean, way easier than my RS3 rotors:
The twin spoke V alloys that most 2017/18 SQ5s have are these. I have the polygons too, but would prefer the twin V spoke, but can't justify the outlay. I think the one's you've pictured are from the pre '17 SQ5s.
...........''yes'' these are the ones i changed the ''polygon'' ones for. They are a pain to keep clean,takes me longer to do just one of these than it did to do all 4 of the Polygon ones BUT there worth it just for the looks alone, & with the Daytona grey paint they make the car look fantastic. My car was a pre reg & had everything i wanted apart from my choice of alloys but i new if i took my time i would find a set,came from a german ebay sight & ''yes'' they weren't cheap but compared to what audi want for just one without a tyre they were in that respect plus i sold the others & that off set the cost as well.
Hmm, yeah I did wonder if the V spokes might be a pain to clean. The polygon's are quite easy to clean, but I think they look a little tacky and stand out too much, especially against my Mythos black. Mine was pre reg too and the wheels were the only bit of spec I wasn't happy with. I splashed out for a set of winter wheels/tyres and went for M10 silver's from Wolfrace and I actually prefer those to the Audi polygons I'm happy to stick with them for easy clean over looks though!
Photo please... These: are just soooo easy to clean with an 8cm and 4cm Wheel Woolie and then a spray over with QD
Andy, see you are missing the locking wheel bolt cover. Got a spare if you want one as i changed mine to the grey version now.
As I said, I prefer my Wolfrace M10 winter wheels to the polygons... Comparison half way through changing to summers (poor quality pic). To me the double spoke looks much better, less like a wagon wheel
I think I prefer the M10s because I deliberately chose them to be similar to my old Accord Type R wheels which I really liked. All in all though, getting back to the main topic, looks wise I think the twin V spokes suit the car better than the polygons. But, as you say that's my subjective view. Thankfully we're all different
............same here. I think the Polygon alloys look more an'' off road'' style of wheel? where as the V spokes just give it that bit more sporty road look ?. Wish they had the small Audi sport badge on them tho.
Resurrecting this as it’s a wheel thread. Does anyone know of the mk1 and mk2 Q5 wheels are interchangeable? Looking at last minute spares / winters.. Thanks
