Hard to say if the replica's are as nice as the real thing. If they are... Go for it.

I think you'd have to see them IRL to know for sure though. Oh, and they're not as 'elite' as the Wagner's.

The wheels are quite common on non-A8 cars here, but I haven't seen them on Polo's yet.

I think it could work - they remind me of Neeper wheels.

I think the genuine ones look nice, but they are hardly replicas if they aren't even the same size as the orginal rim! (to me anyway).

I can do you all a special deal on originals if you like? £550 per rim anyone? :lol:

Yep, Tom's are genuine Audi ones, polished and 19"!

He had them for sale but he's doing the right thing and keeping them.

It's in the e38 show report in this month's PVW. Pictures don't do it justice though!

*drool* I am looking for some decent wheels for my Polo, but I don't know whether I like the idea of putting an audi badge on it :/
