Just think that since everyone thinks that roters are too common they are all getting v spokes and they, are now too common.

Was thinking that, however since ordering my RS4 in January I haven't seen an RS4 on the road, so not too bothered :)

After longing for V spokes for a while, I saw a chaved up Celica the other day with some fake ones on, I've now found a new love for my rotors!

I've never really paid any attention to how deep the concave is on the rears, makes the car look proper mean :smile_smoking:

Probably because Audis are common now doesn't help.

How does the A1 and RS 3 compare size wise?

I initially specced the V's however i can't get away from the concaved look of the rotors, just suits the car so well on 20"s !

Hence i've changed my order back to rotors.

I've gone v spokes for a couple of reasons ;

I thought the. V Spokes looked good on the press release pictures
Rotors are as common as muck up way ......don't know if it's because they are the 'standard' wheel on an A4 Black Ed or not

And finally , despite the fact it is a bigger wheel at 20in , I just couldn't get my head around paying £1250 premium for essentially the same wheel that's running around on every A4 in my home town.


That said , I will also admit that I actually think the car looks better on the rotors !!!........but based on my reasons above , I just couldn't go with them.

A1 is definitely more compact than the 3, particularly in the rear and boot section but nice ergonomics and the ride / handling are very good / direct/ communicative. If they put a turbo 5-pot in it, it would be epic.... #RS1

Special order colour surely? That cannot just be the lighting doing funny things to Scuba?

Gone for v spokes as we have an a4 black edition with rotors currently and thought 20 inch rotors would look too similar
