Hi, how do they look without the diamond cut? Any pics welcome.

Has anybody seen a set of V Spokes painted gloss or matt black?

(Just kerbed my V Spokes and the route taken by the previous poster seems sensible i.e., to save the diamond cut to once every few years. In the meantime, if the wheels without the diamond cut look poor, then a paint job might help!)

Thx

Looks good, how you finding the Tyres?


Done a few miles and they are definately quieter but I can't say they are "night and day" from the P Zeros.
They are a whole world better, you not driving fast enough :roll:

You're probably right. There's not a huge difference in real world driving TBH. But old tyre vs new isn't the best comparison. My pzeros were quite worn.

EDIT - went out for a proper blat today and I am still missing the "night and day" difference. Maybe the tread blocks are still too long at the moment. Need to give it some more time.

Hi Guys

Does this help for painted V spoke 20" RS4? I think they look much more 'integrated' with my car.

Cheers
