V-Spokes all day everyday.

V spokes for me, mostly due to my brother having rotors on his S4 and a friend having them on his Sline A5 - and the 19's are horrible! ha

Yep, rotors are the boggo basic default for Audi.

Seen these reps down at Revolution the other day, they looked pretty nice quality.Ask Glen about them they were pretty cheap from memory.I do like rotors but they have become a victim of their own success as every other Audi has them now.

If it's your car & you're thinking if changing firstly I'm not sure you can get the 19s over the ceramics?

V-Spokes are better but I don't think they'd work in black. Rotors are your best bet in black although like most I don't particularly like them, they're dated

So, that leaves aftermarket...

Rotors only look good when in 20" with the deep concave.

personally I am going for the std 19's as I am sick of the faff of living in fear of dinging diamond cut grey wheels plus I want a smoother ride.

If I were choosing I would go for V spokes for the exclusivity - rotors are on all 2.0tdi black editions and whilst being in fairness one of my favourite designs, i wish it were like the old days where Avus wheels were only on S and RS models..

I have these on my Q; polished and coloured..

Was offered a set of 19" with winter tyres recently. Didn't go for them (the car never goes out in winter - garage queen ) But TBH I didn't realise the Ceramic rotors would be an issue if I had. Thanks.

Hmm come to think of it, my daily runner has a cheaper looking V spoke. Never dawned on me 'til now.



Nice repo's though.

Rotors for me give the car more presence the V's look a bit light for the car IMO

Out of the choices I'd go for the 5 arm, think they look much better on the cars than the V Spoke

Rotors for me, yes they are similar styles of wheels on other Audis, but none have the deep dish look of the 20s on the RS4, plus for cleaning, I used to take wheels off to get them cleaned properly every so often, I have just cleaned my RS4 for the first time and I was able to get my hands into the wheel with no issue so I could clean the whole inside of the alloy. Very pleased!!

Thing is you don't notice the dish when it's parked next to A1/2/3/4/5/6/7 diesel.

Yeah but you are getting the V spokes on the A3, so yes they are special today but like the rotors they will be flogged to death in the next couple of years
