BWW, can anyone tell me whats wrong with these "Audi Factory" Rims
As sold to me by the dealer when I bought the car?

Then they had the nerve to charge my insurance company 514 for another audi factory rim and install a 10 post hole replica wheel. Repair invoice says an audi part number for the Avus rim, the rim on my car says otherwise....
This was the bent rim after 10 days of ownership of the car, I hit a huge hole in philly. I guess if I never did this I would have never figured this out....

Well I have two different types of replicas on my car....
4 wheels were 5 bolt fakes. 1 had 10 bolt holes. That was the replacement wheel for the bent one. That one came from the wheelexchange. My dealer appears to have an account with them and regularly does business with them!!! Scarry huh?
The picture is one of the first 4 wheels. I still cant figure out what replica maker sold that one.
Beleive me I would have noticed if one wheel stuck out further then the other. But when you have fakes all around its hard to tell.

One thing is for sure. Ronal didn't make those!
Contact the BBB if youa re pissed off enough. They sold you the car under false pretenses and at a cut rate to themselves. replicas cost less than half of the real deal for AVUS style. There are many many companies making replicas(sasha at edgeracing coutned over 17 that make RS4 replica wheels). who knows, maybe some vendors use more than one supplier. in my mind, the only replicas i would trust to be quality first would be the hartmann/achtuning replica wheels as people have had good experience with those or those that edge racing used to sell.
