Wanted 19" Rotor Alloys [UK]

Oooooh, good luck with it mate. I'd love to swap my 19'' tattie peelers for 19'' rotors but most have serious 'kerb rash'.
Make sure they are genuine OEM, loadsa cheap crappy lookalikey ones out there.

Yeah ... Tall order I know, but my A5 only has 18s and really would benefit from a lovely set of Rotors .. anyone fancy parting with some at a sensible price ?

Thanks

I think all of us with 18" wheels would benefit from some 19" rotors !!!

What do you call a sensible price though... best I can find is around £1750 which is just too much to justify. Can get a set of brand new OEM 19" tatty peelers for under £500, which is really tempting just because its such a bargain, but I don't really like the style so much. I found some really nice brand new OEM 5 spoke wheels for £450, but they are only 18" so not really worth swapping.

Does LittleDevil have any left? He sells them frequently. Here's his thread.

If there is no price mentioned anywhere, you know they are too expensive !!!

Jase, where are the OEM brand new 19'' tat peelers up for £500?? That's only £125 per wheel, thought these were £250ish each?

Sorry,on going to confirm this price, my mistake, I just checked these again and they appear to be replica's.... thought it was a damn good deal. :wall:

There are these 2nd hand, genuine S5 wheels though for £750, which I quite like though.

And these are the 18" wheels, but no point really swapping 18's for 18's

And for the OP, sorry for dragging off topic... How about these:

What's the difference between Rotors and Titans?

I think standard rotors are just alloys and are silver all over, titans have the titanium overlays on (the dark bits) and cost more.

Which wheels are classed as Tatty Peelers ? I dont mind the standard Y alloys too .. would consider buying some of those and going gunmetal grey with them ?

Total arse to keep clean! Nice (in the flesh) when they are though.


Thanks Jason, still non the wiser tbh! Hopefully some pics of the rotors will turn up at some point.

Just usually cos price is left off so as not to scare people

If you post a price I would be happy to be proven wrong, I'm sure there are plenty of people interested in well priced rotors.

So I think these are rotors:

and these are titans:

Operative word being "think"

You're a Gentleman Jason, thanks for your efforts. :thumbsup:

Got to be honest though and say they still both look like Titans to me!!!

Sorry! :stupid:

They're both called "5-arm 'rotor' design alloys" or 'rotors'. One is 'Silver Polished' and the other is 'Titanium'.

'Titans' is usually just sort for Titanium Rotors... but there are variants of other wheels in the same colour which people can also refer to as "Titan".

Hope that helps!

For the OP... here's a set going cheap at the moment... could go much higher of course.

Also for the OP, these wheels that Jase mentioned Set of 4 19" genuine Audi S5 alloys fits also RS5 and A5 | eBay
The guy would accept £600 for these, not bad money if you then have your original set to resell as it'd make them a cheap purchase.
