They're a bit dirty, but genuine 19" OEM wheels.
You've got me a bit worried now - what doesn't look right about them? :?:

They do to me too!
I'll take one of the wheels off tomorrow and have a gander - I'm sure they will be ;)
I drove the car from Bristol to Lincoln today and got 29.8mpg - is that a record?!?!

?? at what speed ?

i used to do London to Birmingham on 70mph cruise control and would get 28/29

bloody amazing for 450 bhp

re wheels . . . maybe its the colour, have they been refurbed ? maybe they havent matched the audi paint . . .but it might just be the photo's, so dont worry too much

I'll give the wheels a spruce up today as they are filthy - buying this new car warranted a day off work ;)

I travelled at about the speed limit ( ;) ) for most of the way, so I'm pretty chuffed with that. I never thought it would get that much - the car just keeps surprising me!!

That's fantastic! I never thought you'd get that sort of mpg from the 6...

Even more reason to own one - for it's fuel efficiency ;) !!

I think I'm going to need plastic surgery to expand my jaw line - I now understand why David Coulthard looks like he does!! Constant grinning. I'm going to be on good terms with the local Shell garage from now on though :)

LOL. It was a steady run back with my girlfriend following behind - she had no idea where she was going!! :roll:

Ah well, just fitted my Snooper, so let the good times begin! :kissmyrings:
