The same happened to me, did think about getting them all painted, touched up with a small amount of clear lacquer for the time being while I decide,
I love the 2 tone but a pain if you scuff them

I guess if you dont get them cut and paint them you can get them done if you sell car as you can only cut approx 2 times at most.

Thats a tricky wheel to machine, and generally they can only be twice at the very most depending on movement in the wheel. Very clever on Audi's part.
If you anywhere near us we can powder coat them for you and keep Audi finish's in stock. Price bracket is about right for a quality finish.

Can you guys do 'while you wait' powdercoating?
I'd like my rotors done but I don't have a spare set of wheels to swap over whilst they're being done.

Hi, Sorry but we dont offer a 'while you wait' service and to be honest I would not use anyone who does. The wheels need to go through a full strip, pre treatment and finish process and that cant be achieved in one day.

No problem, that's what I thought would be the case. I've been offered a drop it off in the AM pick up in the PM service, but I thought it sounded rushed. Thanks for the reply.

I can check for you to see if we have a set of spare wheels that will work on the RS4 in the morning if you like? I think we might have some but not 100% sure.
