I looked at the RS6 wheels ages ago mate. They look really nice. Are they reps or genuine?

thanks everyone, just a tin of halfords caliper paint, it wasnt that bad, have your calipers already been done before? if so it will be a lot lot easier, as i had to grind off ten years of brake dust and sh!t from them before painting, and it started raining towards the end of the day too, we didnt get any photos but i had umbrellas propped over each wheel which was quite comical in itself!

sat there as you see me and scrubbed away with my wire brush and wire wool :D it would be a hell of a lot easier (and a better finish) if you took them off, i would reccomend doing so, it would be quicker to paint too! the caliper paint dries really quick though! bout 20 minutes a coat

i had r32s when i bought it, then i got some bbs reps, now these, kinda wish i kept the r32s and got them refurbed black now! think i might redo my calipers red though, the yellow isnt doing it for me"!

I like the yellow, just needs some more yellow touchs although then you risk looking like a bumble bee.
