Life is good once again! Thanks to Gary's efforts, I now have a new set of chrome R-28s on the way. Gary was able to convince the installer that they were indeed responsible for the damage done to the wheels. They have agreed to pay. Thanks also to those who responded to some of my previous questions. <br> Now if spring would come, ....<p>Tom<br>'99 Q 2.8

what color A4 do you have and how do the chrome R28's look? 17" I presume...<p><p>:)<p><p>PL

Color, Europa Blue Mica and you can see them in silver and chrome at www.ronalusa.com, index of cars, A4. thanks.

...You and Gary would be able to put together a case. Gary takes great car of his customers, and Ronal makes a very high quality wheel. Make sure you get a better tire installer next time, BTW. WHoa, my screen just blanked out! :-( That was weird! Gotta go!<p>Charles<br>Beautiful 16" R-28's on 90Q as we speak :-)

Gary - maybe you guessed it was me - we met in Cincinnati last weekend and you're just making sure I have no doubt I want to buy 4 chrome R28s for my car! Anyway, was good to meet you then. Thanks for all the tips about suspension tuning etc. As soon as the weather breaks here - probably late March - my R28 order will roll in!!! <p>Any comments on the relative merits of Bridgestone S02 Pole Positions versus Dunlop SP9000s vs Pirelli 7000SS's as far as cornering, comfort and noise levels?<p>Cheers!<p>Spud<br>

I have to agree with Gary, they do look stunning! And I can make that remark even though they have not been mounted on the car yet (its still winter here in Illinois). My A4 is Santorin Blue with Ecru leather interior.<br> I stayed with 16" rims so that I could use the stock tires (snow tire went on the stock rims) and so that I did not have to worry about alignments when changing between summer and winter wheels. <br> I have also been very happy with the Pirelli Winter 210s that Gary recommended and sold me (at a good price, btw).<p><br>Tom<br>99 Q 2.8
