Audi 21" alloys - problems?

[XMT]

HI All,

Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the 21" rotor black edition alloys on the likes of the A6/A7/A8.
I can feel a slight vibration after hitting a few potholes I didnt manage to avoid but nothing I would say that sticks out as yeah that must have done damage.

Mercedes alloys I have generally found to be excellent, BMW a pile of st, Just wondering what the concenses is on the audi alloys.
Its a very slight vibration at motoroway speed so I assume if there is a kink its ever so slight. Enough for my sensetive backside to feel it.

Have you had them balanced, maybe a weight has fell off?

I have not had them balanced recently but that did cross my mind however I had a look and don't see a location where there might be residue from where a weight was previously there.
I always hope that is the case as its the easiest to resolve but in my experience they rarely come off.

They are indeed prone to buckling if bumped.

Guess I should just get on with it and have them all looked at on a balancer, oh the joys of silly size wheels and crap road.

If you're anywhere near me I can put you in touch with a man who will have no issue repairing them.

I am in scotland, but I am happy to send wheels to the right person. Last thing I want is to give them to someone who makes a dogs dinner of them: been there done that.

If you could PM me the details that would be fantastic.
Thanks
