Hi Neil, I'm glad you like the S7, I bought it a few weeks ago and am really enjoying the drive. Your point about 'a nice set of wheels' is a good one, as that is exactly what I'm doing. I have found pictures of a genuine Audi 15 spoke alloy with diamond cut silver spokes and a polished rim, but I cant find any to look at in the 'flesh'. My local Audi dealer can get them from Germany, but if I order them I have to have them. As a consequence I am ordering one single wheel to see what they are like and to try on the car, and if all good I will order another 3. If all goes to plan I will post some additional pictures. Thanks Neil Chris

Hi Audi Members, I am looking to replace the Audi alloys on my 2013 S7 with upgraded and slightly larger Audi alloys, new or second hand. I understand the fitment requirements are 5 X 112, between 19-22 inch, between 8.5J and 9.5J with an offset of between 26 & 37mm. If anyone has any pictures they could make available to me of A7/S7/RS7's with upgraded alloys that would be great. In terms of style and colour, I prefer multi-spoke and prefer silver or graphite rather than black, but realise that there isn't much choice in terms of the multi-spoke options from Audi. On the internet I have spotted an Audi multi-spoke alloy part number 8to-071-499-1zl (19x9J ET33 5X112 Bright Aluminium) and although they were available to buy, they were located in the USA and Canada! I don't intend carrying out any body modifications or involving any spacers, but any advice in terms which wheels to avoid and which to consider would be appreciated. I would also need to purchase tyres and would be considering 19", 20" or 21", a profile of 30 or 35 (40 profile currently on car) and a width 275 or 285. Many thanks Chris

Hi Club Members, I am new to the club having just bought my first Audi. Its a 2013 S7 with full service history including its original bill of sale from Audi in Newbury, and its finished in ice (I think I've got that right) silver with a black interior. It has a sunroof and I am chuffed with it so far. I am living in Swansea and really don't know where to have it serviced, although my preference is to maintain its main dealer service history which has been in Newbury and Reading - bit of a trip for servicing, although I would probably enjoy the journey!!. I have the same issue with a Mercedes SL which I have had since 2021, although I have decided to take that to the Mercedes specialist in Bridgend about 30 miles from me. If anyone knows and could recommend any Audi trustworthy independent specialists or main dealers, please let me know. I have attached a couple of pici's for you to see the car. I would like to get some 21"x 9J alloys for it and have been looking on e-bay for style options, but haven't seen any yet. I do quite like the Audi Rotor wheel in the grey/silver, but I also like an Audi 15 spoke 19" x 8.5J wheel (part number 8TO-071-499-1ZL in silver) which is being advertised as fitting the A5 model, however its size and offset (ET33) suggests to me that it would also fit the S7? Anyway, enough blurb from me and I'll let you know how I get on. Many thanks Chris
