Replacing alloys

[paulaudi6]

My alloys are very corroded and I'm swithering whether to get them refurbed or to replace them 

Does anyone know if these would fit https://www.gumtree.com/p/wheel-rims-tyres/genuine-audi-16-inch-alloy-wheels-with-tyres-/1382095367

They should fit. But personally I'd keep the original wheels and refurb them. Especially due to the story behind your a6. What wheels have you got on it currently? 

Cheers

The original wheels were on the car but it parked at the seaside for 15 years, they were in the worst condition I've ever seen, and to refurb was costing half the purchase value of the car

Look fantastic! Glad they fitted 🙂 your a6 looks in great nick 👍

I can assure you it wasn't like that when I bought it.  It was parked under a tree and hadn't turned a wheel in nearly a year, so was covered in gunge.  I borrowed a polisher and got stuck in.  To be honest there's lots needing done on the outside, whereas inside, it's immaculate.  It has the dreaded heater problems, and also, hopefully, a minor steering problem, but all in all it's in good nick for a 19 year old car

Glad you're on the way to getting it sorted 🙂 not going to lie they're expensive cars to maintain. Spent £1k on mine last month alone. But theyre fantastic abd strong cars.
