I reckon those listed by Norwichphoto for £38.00 each are a good buy from ukpartsdirect.com.

Just bought a set. Durosense seem a reasonable company and it looks like their UK outlet.

I don't think that's the same company.

The address on eBay for them is:

Mobiletron UK Ltd
Preston

Which is another brand that I was considering and which is also proposed by autodoc. So perhaps the durosense ones are rebranded Mobiletron ones.

Anyway, where did you buy them? eBay?

Nah, these are half the price. If I'm getting a spurious brand, I might as well get a cheap one. :)

If they're crap I'll get the Hella ones. And then if, as is frequently the way of these things for me, they are also crap I'll get the Huf ones and kick myself for not getting the Huf ones in the first place.

Hi Ben
Hopefully something similar.
Many thanks for your help.
Ps not my car. Similar alloys.

RS4 B7 Audi Le Mans alloys
19x9
Et 29
Perfect fit. No spacers or spigot rings.
That’s a great wheel Steve which fits quite nicely straight out of the box. I use the B7 RS4 wheel as my winter wheel fitted with studded tyres!Image

Hi Craig.
Yes mate I have always liked the Le Mans alloys.
Took the opportunity to fit TPMS.
Alloys at et 29 fit perfectly.

I don’t know why but with the original wheels being et 35. They fouled the front caliper. So had to have spacers with them.

Arrived already and they come with valves too. They'll go on when the first sensor starts moaning... guaranteed to be never now!

Not sure. Probably or a pale grey. I haven't taken them out of the packets. Look the same as the ones I have a draw full of 'just in case'...

My TPMS turned up. They look good. I'm slightly concerned that there's no marking or label identifying them as the DS001AUD that I ordered and therefore suitable for the car. I'm sure they are, but given the hassle involved in fitting them, I'd like to be reassured that they are at least the right part before getting the tyres off and back on again.

Look good Ben. Was the price each or for 4.

IIRC I phoned them to check for the same reason.
