I'm impressed with the mileage.

I was at one point worried that my 180k example was maybe a bit long in the tooth despite having FSH and a gearbox recon (and i'm assured having been barely used in anger)

Love those wheels!

You can but direct from them, I bought a set of carbon wheels for my old track bike. Placed an order over the phone and collected them a couple of weeks later from their place in Chippenham. Made a massive difference to the handling of the bike so can imagine what a difference it would make on the RS6.

Yep, they've always been awesome with bikes but they lost the car wheel biz to bankruptcy. This new wheel design is probably due to no longer owning the rights to the original wheels (the ones that the OP has). HRE got burnt hard as Dymag were making the barrels for them back in the day... I did a lot of research into these wheels.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Thread resurrection!!

I've spoken to dyamg and they would entertain manufacturing a wheel to a specific design. At present they are just at the finishing stages of their current car wheel and that is taking precedence. Obviously it's all depend on numbers etc on what price would eventually have to be paid - but defo worth it.

I passed on an opportunity to buy a set in 2010 which I badly regret.

Let's see what happens this year!

They not given a figure but back in 2009 a set was something like £5k? I'd expect the same or just slightly more.

On our cars these wheels would make a big difference :-)
