Did a Search! and Found a website of the company "global trade"
So i know who to contact / buy RS4 wheel from in future if i need new RS4 wheel.
I give in :? Did you not read the title of the thread. Just to let people know most dealers will supply these wheels at between 330 and 384 including the sensor valve and the sensor, following some useful info given to me by some kind people on here the sensor is around 50 and the valve around 10. Global will supply the wheel (not sure whether the sensor valve and sensor are included) for around €495. So the uk dealers are in most cases about the same if not cheaper. Im buying mine at £330 inc vat, sensor valve and sensor from a uk dealer.
Hey Arsey, dont forget me.

Let me know how/when you want the reddies.

All i am asking for info about global trade as i've never heard of the name "global trade". You did wrote the title "new oem rs4 wheel from global trade £100 cheaper" which i thought that it's a good deal and cheaper than Audi dealer so i thought i'll better ask you about it and thought that you might be able to give me an email address, website address or a link to global trade.
But no, you told me to do a search!
My apologies if I sounded abrupt. I just answered your questions. The point was most know of Global Trade but I wanted a bit of feedback if the GB was to take place. I didnt realise you wanted web address etc. Their site is in German so I couldnt tell you any more than has been discussed during this thread.

Please include me in any GP regardless of where it comes from (Global looks cheaper to me).......

8E0601025AG doesn't come with the valve and sensor so arsey's is cheaper unless Global list it as coming with it. As i said before £330 for all three is a brilliant price,i would be very suprised if it could be bettered in the uk.

Out of curiosity, can the valve and particularly the sensor be re-used? I understand that it's good practice to change the valve each time you change the tyre, but the car's only eight months old and has less than 4000k miles so the valve / sensor will not even have thought about deteriorating yet.

Sorry chaps, I was one of the original respondents but have been out of the country all week. So where are we with this potential GB? Still on but from different source?

Apologies accepted. Maybe i should have simply write "Can i have global trade website please".
Anyway, don't worry about it and let forget about it and move on. :thumbs:

The final price is £330 inc vat, sensor and sensor valve. I would like to put one disclaimer in regarding the sensor as Rob has said this is a very good price and me being me I cannot help but think they have quoted incorrectly. The service manager has confirmed twice over the pahone that it includes sensor and sensor valve and emailed me confirming that it included the sensor valve, the email says "sensor valve" which can mean just the valve. I am going to email him asking for 3, me, turbo and PG and list the items and price quoted, if it turns out to be excluding what would you guys like to do as it will put the price upto £380?
If you could let me know asap I will email and put this to bed. Thanks.

Arsey4 - If it's not too late - I'm interested in one of these too. £380 is still cheaper than I've been quoted by my local dealerships. £330 seems really cheap. :D

Can you still put me down for one? I'll be very grateful.

Beware - I've just had to have a RS wheel exchanged by the dealer and every wheel I looked at was in really poor condition. There was terrible oramge peel in the paint, lots of paint runs on the spokes, hardly any paint around bolt holes and loads of dust in the laquer.

They checked out 25 different wheels at Audi UK stocks and could only come up with one reasonable one. I took this but the quality is no where near as good as the original ones on the car. To me they looked refurbished but I'm not sure. Could be a problem if the wheels from Global are the same and then you have to get these exchanged.
