A bit expensive at £2k even with new tyres. I've saved a search in ebay
Personally, I'd prefer a set of nicely refurbed 20" Audi 9 spokes for less than half that price (@ £700-ish). But I'm very much an OEM person, and can understand that others might like a change from that.

The car originally came with those and I have them stored up. After I was running a set of 18" for winter I found the ride much better to my liking and decided not to put the 20's back on and picked up a set of 19's. I do much prefer the look of 20" 9 spoke but would prefer a smaller rim. The Phaeton was and is the closest I've found that is a multi spoke and is almost OEM by being in the VAG umbrella.

I see the Phaeton listing on eBay finished early.

Is it on your drive Matt?

Lol John! I can confirm it's not in my drive. Should a local one appear I may take a look.
