The condition is fair with no impact damage to the wheels but, as usual, there is a little corrosion under the lacquer (worming). I intend to get them restored and when I do I’ll not be going for a diamond cut finish.

19” Rotors
I finally made my mind up with what wheel to put on the car and have brought Rotors. I was torn between the Rotor and LeManns but this set came up for a price I couldn’t resist.

Re: 19” Rotors
In all honesty I don’t know what they came off. They were fitted to a RS6 but have been in storage for a few years.

Re: 19” Rotors
Had to replace mine a while back.
Had the originals straightened and one needed welding to a split. But they didn’t last long on our crap roads.
And the dreaded steering wheel vibration returned.
I bought my replacements for a crazy low price and they were as new so I just could not refuse.
I believe mine were off a S5. But totally different to yours Chris.

Re: 19” Rotors
Does it make a difference what they’re from, how can you tell what they’re off?
I had just refurbished a set of 20” rotors for a customer but they were copies and had a crack. The crack put the final nail in the coffin for the 20” in my opinion. Annoyingly on the way to collect the wheels I hit a pot hole and burst the tyre. Thankfully it was the wife’s Skoda and had tyre insurance. Still going to complain to the council though.

Re: 19” Rotors
I like a rotor. Mine are more gunmetal; the diamond cut edge seems to give another inch or so in diameter....who doesn't like an extra visible inch?

^^ tbh I've never seen a white 6, I like it!
Re: 19” Rotors
Is that the one that was originally sprint blue?

Re: 19” Rotors
Nope. Originally Daytona (which I'd prefer) but the DPO decided to go nuts and give it a full respray in white. Did an excellent job tbf, the only area that's still Daytona is the firewall under the bonnet. All inner wings, under bonnet & tailgate, door shuts etc. are white. Bit marmite really as Audi never did a white RS6 C5 but it does look well when polished.
Had a freshen up couple of months ago, rear arches were showing a bit of scab.

Re: 19” Rotors
That looks Very nice mate.
Had a previous car in white. Nightmare to keep clean. I said I would never ever have another white car.
But must admit they look great when freshly cleaned waxed and polished up.

Re: 19” Rotors
Cheers guys. Anyway, Chris get some pics up when those Rotor's are fitted
Re: 19” Rotors
Will do as soon as I’ve thrown some rubber on them. What it the boot of choice for the C5 RS6?
Oh and I detailed a TTRS that had put a dark satin grey all over their rotors yesterday. They looked very nice.

Re: 19” Rotors
WeiB-sechs. Your RS6 looks great in white and is rare if not unique.
Chris. Michelin Pîlot Sport 4s work great on my car ( in summer ) Dunlop winters going on soon.
