Hi all,

My car just acquired has these. I'd like to acquire a spare but they aren't made anymore as far as I can see.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you

Lady P

Hi Lady P and welcome.

I know the car you have bought, it's a very example of a red convertible. I'm not a fan of red or cenovertibles bit your one looks just right.
If I'm not mistaken the wheels were specially made for Jules, so unlikely you'll get a spare without great expense. Try asking Jules though, he will know for sure.

Hi and thank you...

Forgive as I am a newby here but who is Jules? A user here I am assuming?

The wheels are fantastic and get admired everywhere, they were part of the reason I bought the car.

I have seen an Audi on the net from 2006 (dark blue I think) with these wheels on but I assume they aren't the exact same ones.

Can I just use a spacesaver 20" spare as my puncture back up then?

This the one?

Sure is!

She's a real beauty and I looked long and hard for one to suit me.

I could do with another alloy though as I don't like to be stranded and as they are 3 piece split rims they'll take some replacing.

There was a Blue RS4 in 2006 sporting them, it's in the May edition of Fast Car Magazine so if anyone knows where I can get one please let me know and I'll get Parker to nip out and collect it..

Yes Jules is a member on here as well as some other forums and well known on the Audi modifying scene. He had probably the most famous RS4 and had your wheels on it when it was first unveiled in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=95841

Unfortunately most of the photos don't work in there anymore. There is probably some info about your wheels near the start of that thread, but you can send him a private message for more info.

There are some photos on this forum somewhere of your car with those wheels on. Might be the picture thread.

If you go to google images and type in Jules rs4 you will see some photos of his car with your wheels on (plus lots of other wheels too).

Lady P will post some new pics of her steed soon....

Hi and sorry for the late reply

Yes I had these wheels custom made and they are still the only set in existence.

As mentioned it would be silly expensive to get another one of these made.

I think if its mainly as a spare in case of a puncture etc I would just get any old 20" alloy and just fit them same size tyre.
You could get away with a 9-10" wide one.

The spec of the davinicis is 20 x 10 et30.

I hope this helps, and also remember most of our cars don't come with a spare these days just the foam to hopefully get you home.

Thanks Jules.... I've been led to believe that you are some kind of uber Audi God so I feel 'blessed' indeed... Your wheels are fab and really make the car. Thank you for your reply x
