Default the question is...how do we get 'em over here?

if someone can work a shipment of these wheels from there, maybe we can get a GB goin'...

it's probably not what Finman wants to hear, but... hey... let's represent the 19" RS6 wheels.

Default Danger, Will Robinson, Danger.....

First, the tires are "almost new" with the "colored stripes almost visible", then they are totally new.

The rims are in "perfect condition" but have "small blemishes from the factory" that "aren't very noticeable once mounted" and the bidder is "advised to check the pictures carefully"

The above comments come from the "non-translated" version.

These rims have been mounted on an A4 and driven for a while. I'm not sure what the tread depth on a new Pirelli is, but these have an 8mm tread depth.

Further these rims are advertised as having "factory blemishes" which means that they are either seconds or that they've been curbed and badly repaired.

Please note also that these tires are gas filled. A big trend in Europe over the past years has been to fill tires with a "special" gas that doesn't leak and reduces oxidation of internal rubber surfaces. In most areas, this gas is nitrogen. Accordingly, there may be some shipping problems.
