Dusty Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 OK.... never thought I would see an A4 with wheel trims. But I spotted this in Slovenia yesterday and I think it looks pretty bad.... how could Audi even consider it an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbaz Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 They're fab! Where can I get a set? Do you think you can get them in 20" spinner form?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbaz Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Just had a closer look - the front one is kerbed to death? The owner probably took off the 18" alloys and fitted golf wheels and the trims to protect his investment (clearly the wife's motor - ouch! I can here the women already!!)

chrisan Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Yes - I might get a set for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCab Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 If you have a look at the front wheel arch, I think you'll find that kerbing the wheels is not the only atrocity here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Kerbing on that side is probably quite an achievement, seeing as it's in a foreign country!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always play the 'check the nasty spec' game when I go on holiday (V sad I know) Those wheels look like 15"s too ............................

J_C Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 That is foul. Completely spoils the whole look of the car. Quite by concidence I saw a black B6 A4 in Dublin on Wednesday, and that too had wheeltrims (although not as as these). It was a 1.6 and about as basic an example as I have ever seen. I felt quite deflated after seeing that, but further up the road was a so that cheered me up no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCab Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Mind you, given that Audi have always resolutely designed their suspension for German roads, and it gets more than a little erratic on UK blacktop, you do wonder whether balloon wheels (rather than alloys and low-profile tyres) are basically a vital survival option in Slovenia... OTOH it's entirely possible that ex-Yugoslavian roads are still better than British suburban ones so maybe I shouldn't cocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Volvo don't make a car with trims (Please note the present tense) Audi however..... [/ QUOTE ] The wheels on this A3 are not trims - they are alloys. If you look in the A3 catalogue you'll see them listed. I agree they're fugly but they're definitely alloys - I've seen a similar car with them on. Ugh - nasty. I have to say I've never seen an A2 with those on - and with good reason! Hopefully those monstrosities have never made it further than early publicity shots. [ QUOTE ] Nice Hit that Google. [/ QUOTE ] Interesting that you emphasise the fact that Volvo don't currently fit trims, but then post a picture of an old Audi 80 from 1992-94, a period when trims were the norm for most cars! I owned two early '90s Volvos and neither of those had alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
