thankyou guys, yeah i heard about clutches going when getting a remap

i am going to look into some bbs lm's or similar kinds of alloys, and when i do these will be up for sale obviously refurbs profesionally what sort of money would these wheels fetch out of curiousity?

I can defo confirm that these wheels are rs4's, well as for prices it really depends on if they are genuine ones or reps? I would go on ebay and watch a few set to see what they are selling for, i am thinking that if reps with good tyres then £300 maybe a little more but if they are genuine then matbe £500+
Really like the car though, looks really nice, did you tint the windows yourself???

is there anyway to tell if they are genuine or not? not long had a set of tyres cost me £460!! lol pretty wide wheels

nah a company down here called gorilla tints did them for me pretty happy with them, mainly love the fact i can have any car behind me xenon's etc and not get blinded in my mirror :L

Well the only way of telling is by taking one of the wheels off anf have a look on the inside and you should be able to see a the audi rings (think somewhere in the center near the holes) and somehwere there should also be a "made in germany". If you have both of these then it is looking very likely that you have genuine ones and they should fetch you some good money.  :smiley:
