I have 2nr 19" RS6 wheels going spare. Especially "spare", as I am currently selling the car.

I bought them as a package, with some second hand shocks along with my RS6, last summer.

I've no idea about cracks/splits/roundness - but if I get chance today, I'll take them to my local garage and ask them to strip the tyres (knackered) and take a look.

Assuming all is okay with them, I'll post some photo's later.

How the heck do you tell if they're genuine?

Both wheels are now SOLD.

Okay, so managed to get tyres off and wheels inspected yesterday.

Fair to say, both wheels will need refurbishing.

The garage found no splits / cracks. Just one of the wheels was remarked to have a "very slight flat spot" on the inside edge.

Wheels are genuine - see photo's.

If anyone's interested, send me a PM or call/text: 07806558011.

Not sure if i've broken some rules here? Should this all be moved into the "For Sale" section?

I am in Devon (near Exeter), although for the next few weeks I will be in North London (Mon-Fri), between Enfield and Hatfield.

I can also arrange courier pick-up - which I think will be circa. £20 - £25.

Sure thing. I'll hopefully get it boxed and ready to go tonight. I'll then have to ask SWMBO to sort out a courier - got to keep her busy!
