RS6plus Wheel Colour/Finish

Post by PorkaFly » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:52 pm

I'm looking to get my wheels refurbed and was chatting to a very well known top-notch wheel refurber at their premises today, and they couldn't show me either in flesh, or any pics, the colour and finish of the plus colour wheels. Not only that they didn't know what paint code/finish was either. Was told I could have any of their colours. No - I want OEM look/finish. Stunning!

I will call Audi tomorrow, but wondered if any of you know what the code/name/finish is so I know if I'm being told the truth or not.

Many thanks.

I believe it's L8AU from memory.

And if it's Lepsons they do an outstanding job.

8AU is metallic. Not sure what the matt equivalent is.

I've had mine done in 8AU and had to decide between matt or gloss finish.

My Plus has regular silver wheels, 20" 5 spokes. Was the gunmetal an option colour for the Plus ?!

Here you go. Was actually L8AU in a satin finish, but I always thought that the wheels never looked clean even when they were. Much preferred the glitzier gloss finish...

Gawd I miss my 6 :boohoo:

I can understand that if you've had one and it's gone...I really can't think of anything to replace it with. I've kept it longer than any of my previous daily drivers...

Thanks for pics, very helpful...so these are OEM plus finish right? Do you have any of the car with the glossy ones on for comparison? Sorry for being so demanding! :bigwave:
