Evening folks. Does anyone happen to have a front (or set of fronts) Carbon Black wheels they'd be open to selling, or someone they could kindly point me towards?

I had a prang today taking evasive action to avoid traffic on the motorway I'd failed to notice was stationary, and my front right wheel is pretty deeply gouged, so I'm looking to get a new rim (or pair of fronts) with the view of sending the old one off for a full repair at some point.

I'm looking for a like-for-like replacement, so the satin black wheels without the decals.

Thanks in advance.
 
You'll be lucky to find one to be honest. I kerbed a wheel about 3 years ago and have been checking ebay ever since. Never found a decent one yet. Enquired with Audi and if I remember right I was quoted around £1500 for 1 wheel. Mine is a slight damage so filled it in with a Sharpie. Job done.

Unfortunately mine is quite badly gouged, so definitely needs more than a Sharpie! Funnily enough, there's a full set going on eBay currently that have only done 6k miles and look in really good condition. Seller is asking for £1,500 for the set. I was quite tempted, but have managed to source a single wheel instead

I ended up going via Audi for a new one to the tune of £1,100 (!) and then having it fitted locally. I could've sourced a used one elsewhere for a bit less but decided I'd rather get one that was new and direct from the factory, just for security more than anything else.

Happily, I had the alignment checked and it was all still as it should be, same with the overall structural integrity, with no sign of any damage.

Given the impact wasn't soft or slow by any means, I can confirm the wheel and parts around it can take a fair old hit! What a relief!
