Just saw pics of the nogaro at the geneva motor show 2014. It has high gloss black v spokes on it.

Are these available to buy or spec from dealers.

I've also seen this and wondered. when trying to spec in the dealers not so long ago they wasn't available, according to someone else they were available when the RS4 was first released :audibash:

oddly,if you spec the titanium Vspokes on the Configurator, they show as the black wheels with diamond face

I asked the dealer this morning and they were none the wiser. At first I thought they were on the nogaro only but after seeing some in the flesh they dont even have them on

I think the wheels were only for the display car at the motorshow when they released the Nogaro selection,
Not that keen on them myself, would rather see the whole alloy done in like Dark shadow chrome.

I've looked at those photos in detail and I think the wheels might be standard V-Spokes, not actually black ones.

If you look up close at the shadows of the spokes and flat faces of the inner rims, it's a very dark grey rather than black. The 'black' areas seem to be overexposed, which would lead me to think the images have been processed incorrectly from their raw format. The blue also looks quite punchy, and unlike the usual Nogaro.

All this is amplified hugely by the close artificial lighting, so I think you might be on a wild goose chase. :idea:

I think they're pretty black on there ;

I guess you get an element of reflection from the bright staging, but I'd say they're as black as black gets

My dealer didn't seem to know either, although agreed that the configuration wasn't accurate to the normal vspokes like I have

So it is. Strangely that specific car also has black alcantara rather than the blue, so perhaps it was just a concept type Noggy before the final spec was decided.
