It also calls them "Audi wheel centre caps", so I'll return them if they're not good and claim false description.

A8+20’’ FE looks too good.
but my old soft butt does notice the harsher ride.
however after a good clean and wax all is forgiven..

Not harsher, just firmer ;)

…and a lovely colour combination - the green is such a nice contrast with the wheel colour and chrome trim +++

I'm hoping mine will end up looking similar, though I think it's a tad darker, Irish Green Pearl.
It's a colour which looks amazing in the sun but can seem black on a dull day when not polished.

Very nice!

Best D2 wheels ever, IMO .... but then I'm biased :D

I just ordered a set

I'm sending mine back. They are far to tight a fit and don't sit right in the wheel. Don't waste your money on these. :(

I'm willing to try anything once, but I'm a little sceptical that cleaning and waxing one's butt could make for a softer ride.

My tyres turned up today, just need the centre caps to arrive from Hong Kong. Garage is getting a bit full with wheels and tyres; I also have a couple of new summer tyres to fit on the Focus, the set of 20's and all the normal summer wheels for both cars! :tuttut:

Though I'm still debating whether to bother refurbishing the spare wheel which is still "diamond cut" but with minor rim damage or just polish up the edge and respray with lacquer. It's not bent, it's still perfectly round, but looks like it probably had a blowout and the rim has rolled along tarmac. :(

Arrived this morning, look OK but haven't yet had a chance to check how well they fit.
