I’m having two of my alloys replaced thru the insurance & I have just been to the garage this morning & the 2 new alloys are a different shade to my old alloys. The garage noticed this on Friday & got a replacement set from the same vw dealer but they are the same in terms of the shading.
The only difference I noticed is that my originals are by bbs. I don’t know what to do now as I don’t want top have different colour wheels, was thinking of ringing round to see if I could get any bbs alloys.
Does anybody know the part number pls?

The BBS ''Pescara'' alloy wheel is exclusive to the
Edition 30.....there is a similar wheel on the Audi S-line (this could be the Ronal wheel you are talking about) but it has a 54 offset IIRC rather than a 51 on the ''Pescara'' and the colour is darker on the VW wheel but only slightly....the part number for the Edition 30 BBS ''Pescara Wheel'' is: 1K0 601 025 AT QQ9 the AUDI wheel is an 8P0 part number so make sure that someone hasnt put the wrong wheels on your car or has ordered them from Audi. Hope this helps.....link below shows Audi Wheels i refered to:
Audi part number is 8P0 601 025 R 1H7

Thanks for the detailed reply,
That’s the part number of the replacement wheels, i spoke with the vw dealer who is awaiting a response from vw to see whether they can source the original bbs wheels

The audis are also 8J as apposed to 7.5J for the pescaras!
