Its not just the painting martin, down my part of the country most decent places charge between £80 - £100 a rim for powder or wet paint, the cost of doing that just didn't workout compared to getting 4 new ones for £50 more, also I wanted to move the rims out a shade more so I wanted an ET35 rim aswell , and to be honest the wolf's have a nice sutle concave dish to them which I prefer over the semi convex Rials....so not really a straight forward paint job ....I expect it will workout in the end..lol
I went to look at an RS4 avant (b7) at west London audi recently, really outstanding car with mad low milage and showroom cond , had all the bits anyone could want except a sunroof and I was looking for one with the normal recaro's not the wing backs as found in the majority of them, also at a premium price...decided to carry on looking , its out there somewhere, but yes I have some bits to offload.
