Anyone know what this audi alloy is called?

[Dave 23]

Can anyone put a name to this alloy?

Many thanks

Dave

George?

[Dave 23]

I've been calling it snowflake.. no idea if that is right or not, but to the parts department I think i would have done better calling it George!

Dave, I assumed S6, and went looking for the Audi spec guide.

 

Please check against the link, but i think you are after....

 

19” x 8.5J ‘15-spoke Star’

It is Friday night. Are you on a night out???

For crying out loud man, this person needs some information that is Audi related, you should be here now!!!!

He is probably letting the muppets go first ..... but where is our resident Audi expert when we need him?

He's probably strapped to the underside of Dave's car in a Cape Fear stylee, getting a closer look at his wheels.

Yes actually, on a Le Mans planning meeting, aka a piss up in Covent Garden!! :D

We could do with a TSN logo which we can shine in to the sky Batman style to let Ian know we have an unanswered question.

It might get a bit dusty between uses.

I am disappointed.

For Ian's rep I thought it would go COMPLETELY unused as he would be able to answer someone's query before they even knew to ask it

[Dave 23]

Paul, Many thanks for the pdf but that specific alloy isn't listed.. although it is an official Audi product

 

Come on Ian, get your finger out man

[Ian_C 420]

Hahaha I didn't do any looking because Paul already found the answer! 

 

From his pdf link, it looks like those are an option on the A6 rather than the S6.  You looking for a winter set of 19s?

 

Appears someone round the corner from me has bought an S6, seen it on their driveway a few times and it dove past me the other day too, a super stealthy Moonlight Blue 63 plate S6 'loon on default 19s

[Dave 23]

Yes, that star spoke alloy that Paul listed in the pdf is a little different.. if you look at the photo I posted every 3rd spoke is thick with two thin spokes each side.

 

Yes, I'm after some winter rubber on the 19" alloys ..http://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/winter-campaign-2013/winter-tyres.html

Audi do the wheels but they come with Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D AO 

These have shite reviews so i wanted to order the alloys separately and then add Nokian or Continental tyres

[jimdiesel 629]

Dave. I had the Audi specific Dunlop 3Ds on my TT. A very different car to yours but they were excellent in all conditions.

[Dave 23]

Ok, that's good to hear.. 

 

Auto Express didn't like them.. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/66645/winter-tyres-test-reviews-and-prices-2013

 

But then, i don't expect they paid for the advert!!

[Ian_C 420]

Looked the same to me at a glance?  Cannot open the link at work, will have another look later at home! 

 

However personally I'd track down the default S6 19s.  The narrower official Audi winter wheel might be preferable on the continent, but over here I'd prefer the regular width S6 19.  This also leaves you the option of selling the S6 on the 19s and selling the 20s privately.

 

Nokian WR A3 255/40 R19 100 V XL are £180 each delivered from Oponeo, £720 for a set

Hold on, Mr Dave.........  you are in the warmest county in the country and you want winter tyres?

[Dave 23]

You might laugh mate, but we get a frost at least twice a year!
