Do you have black plates on? If so, I must've seen you in town a couple of times before.

I've got Audi Euro plates with black sides..not sure if you're meaning that style or the old school black plate with white letters?

I'll sort some wider aspect shots this weekend..only picked the rims up yesterday.

Painted the rims..apparently powder coating is not the way to go with rims? Had a hell of a battle getting the colour right..there is no "off the shelf" colour when you go in and paint your rims as I found out haha

Nice, I've powdercoated 3 sets so far, so much easier to keep clean as brake dust just wipes off or washes away with hose. the only down side is if you curb them, you can't just 'touch them up'.  :-\

Powder coating is OK on cast alloy.

Need to be very careful with forged alloy wheels.

Nice to know but I wouldn't have a clue about separating the two wheel types you've just mentioned haha  :)

In the simplest of terms...

Cast is when they melt metal and pour it into moulds, like making jelly.

Forged is when they take a block of solid metal and through careful application of heat and pressure force it into a wheel shape, like playdough.

;D

Cast is cheaper and faster to make; forged stronger, lighter but takes longer and results in a more expensive wheel.

Factory B7 RS4 19" wheels are cast aluminium.

Funnily, the new B8 RS4 19"s are forged while the optional 20's are cast...

???


mikemas

That makes sense..thanks :)

No idea what mine are though..I'll just stick to paint haha

Hi, Posted on here a few weeks ago. I was bringing my S4 back home with me from UK, finally got the plates on it today.
Sorry about the crappy iphone photos. Also will be getting some new wheels put on it soon, so will take better ones when they are on.
Looking forward to sharing knowledge and maybe any meets etc.
