RS6 Performance - 21" 5-V-Spoke Alloys buckling
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2018 6:39 pm
Hi Everyone,
Recently joined the forum, looking for some advice and to see if anyone has had the same experience.
I bought a 2016 RS6 performance in December from main dealer. It had 10k on the clock and was a year old in mint condition.
Within 4 weeks it was back with the dealer with both passenger side alloys buckled. I do remember hitting a pothole but nothing catastrophic, and they were completely written off. I was lucky to even be able to drive the car to the dealership. £2.5k later two new alloys we are back on the road.
1500 miles go by, the car goes in for its first service and I reported a slight vibration at motorway speed, thinking it was a wheel balancing issue, only to be told both passenger side alloys are buckled again! This time only slightly and possible to refurbish. I have never buckled an alloy in 20 years of driving performance cars so something doesn't feel right!!
Has anyone experienced issues with the 21" 5-V-Spoke Alloys on the RS6?
