Fitting Audi wheels . Do I need different wheel bolts??

[fredgroves]

If I was spending money on another set of wheels (I mean buying some to go on the car, not ordering a new VW) I definitely would never choose diamond cut.

After three to four years they always have white worm issues in one way or another. I know you can refurb them, but why bother having diamond cut in the first place - avoid the problem to start with if you have powder coated.

If that is indeed a diamond cut and not just silver on the second set, I would stay away with how bad the finish can age and get damaged.

They both look like they're diamond cut to me, it's just that the first set aren't painted black.

Spot on, the lack of contrast between the different areas on the first ones threw me off.

My A4 has diamond cut alloys with silver painted areas, seems pretty pointless to diamond cut a silver wheel to me.

I do like the second set better. I was looking for a set of Pretoria’s but I wanted nearly new or new in silver with newish tyres but can’t find a set unless near on 2 grand which is in acceptable to me. Both wheels above are brand new with brand new tyres £1450. I have untill Saturday to make a decision, in the mean time I’ll keep looking for a set of Pretoria’s in silver
