Of all the (many) wheels Ian's had on his R so far, though I like BBS, they were my least favourite.

Ian, what's top of your lineup?

I'm totally with you on that Becs, I absolutely loved the BBS as the start but now I'm just not so sure about them.
Where as the Ispiris I didn't like at all (as you know) and I now think they are my fav.

I do like the Prets, BUT I think I've got so used to Anthracite or black that silver just looks a bit well, dare I say.....plain??

I'll give it time to see how I feel.

But if I were to sell a set it would be the BBS I'm afraid

Stunning. The prets are far and away the nicest oem VW wheel today.

But I also liked those bbs wheels you'd fitted.

If they've got to go to the trouble of mixing a paint match for that wheel, i'd ask them to mix a little extra for future touch ups (stone chips etc.)

Certainly got gloss Ian  :drool:  You're right to get it fixed asap and carry on - our local Micky D's got refurbed and the drive thru has really tight high kerbs - you'll just have to give up on the big macs

For what it's worth I still love the dark contrast of the Ispiris  :whistle:

Someone else posted this a while ago about getting the right colour match so I made a note of it just in case I ever need it !!
Pretoria alloy colour. LZ49 is the code, it's an Audi colour called Steel Dunkel.
Hope this helps. At least the Pretoria is not Diamond cut  :whistle:

That's super mate Thankyou so much, I have been nervous slightly about the colour match so that's a massive help :smiley:

BTW: the BBS have now been provisionally sold :cry: as much as I liked them, I kinda lost the love for them compared to the others, so these will make way for something else.
Didn't really need to sell them but I'm trying to limit myself to 4 sets at a time :wink:

Any suggestions what to try next?? :laugh:
