Title: OEM Audi Black Edition Wheel refurb
Post by: rdfcpete on January 25, 2014, 01:17:20 pm
Looking to have my wheels refurb'ed in the OEM Audi Titanium grey which uses a matte lacquer, which I know not all wheel refurbishers' have or don't necessarily use.

They're the RS4 style from the A3 in 18x7.5.

Can anyone recommend somewhere that can do the factory Audi matte finish that's not a million miles away, with an expectation on cost?

I'm in Northampton.
Thanks.

For example, are the highly acclaimed A1 wheels in Wolves still going and do they do the factory Audi matte lacquer? Seem bit of an art these bloody wheels  :chicken:

I do refurbs Pete and have just done my Pescara's in the Audi colour with a satin lacquer.

I'm in Manchester  :happy2: But have done refurbs for people around the globe.

Nath! How do?

I remember well your C63 AMG's in purple (over on ASN), you did those didn't you IIRC?

I'm looking for exactly the same factory finish they put on my 2010 Black Edition wheels, with the matte lacquer Audi used. I know for a fact you'll recall the one I mean but to be safe it's these wheels:

How different is the satin finish to my old wheels I'm describing?

PM you for a price?

I'd need a quick turnaround as it's the BBS CK I need in that finish, they're on the car currently.

Also, I want some OEM (VW or Audi) centre caps in the BBS size. Can't find any, anywhere. Tried various eBay sets, no luck.
Does such a thing exist?

Cheers.
