Default Alzor wheels

Has anyone had any experience with Alzor wheels?

Guess I should mention that I ended up curbing my car and did some cosmetic damage to the stock wheels, didn't install Winter tires soon enough and ended up paying the price. Still plan on keeping the stockers for Winter driving, but want some new wheels for Summer. I just hope I didn't do any damage to the suspension, does not feel that I did.

I bought a set of their Ti reps to use for the winter but haven't even gotten them mounted yet. They do look very nice though and appear to be well made. We'll see how they hold up through the winter though ...

I have a winter Alzor set (S5 replicas, 18" style 618) that look very good and was very inexpensive compared to other wheels, but I guess you get what you pay for. I can see a bit of overspray in some places and I also noticed that these make the steering wheel vibrate a bit at 70+ mph speeds. Maybe it's just that the balancing performed wasn't as good as it could be so I'll have to re-do it and see if that improves.

Other than that I'm pretty happy with them as winter wheels. Only had them on for the last season and am about to mount them again for this season. Can't wait to change the looks of the car again.

HTH.

I think I am leaning towards TSW wheels now, but I want the Jerez style in black and have to wait till they are available.

Do OEM Audi caps work with the TSWs? I really like these wheels but want centercaps, or perhaps they sell an Audi center cap to work?

I am not sure, they are not for sale yet....that I can find, and I haven't done enough research to know any better. Would be even sweeter if they did.

You know in most cases wheels can be repaired just like any car part. Long as it is not cracked or severely damaged.

Yes....I do know that, and plan on doing so, but this also gives me a good reason to get another set of wheels that I have wanted anyway. Besides the TSW Jerez wheels will make the car look even sharper than it already is.
