These are the wheels I bought...

Default Really people?

Did I miss the post when he asked for your opinions? To summarise:

That is hillarious sir. I would always be worried about them falling off in transit lol!

I wouldn't want them red, blah.

LOLZ! I've seen these and I just have to laugh every time I do!!!

LOL. Not only are these cheesy fake brembo caliper covers..they are fakes of fakes as these are cheap chinese knock-offs of fake brembo caliper covers!

Maybe 2 wrongs do make a right? Nope. These are laughable and should NEVER be put on an Audi. Save them for your Civic or 98 Grand Prix.

Please return those lol....

Those are so cheap looking and definitely don't belong on an A8.

You do no such thing!

Your car, your choices, your rules. I, at least, want to make you feel welcome to the forum, let all the taste 'experts' worry about their own cars.

The words 'amendment' and 'first' spring immediately to mind. Who decides who it applies to again?

SMH

Looks like everyone has their own opinions. That's what makes this country so great!

Even better. One can state his opinion even not asked for it.

This thread was reported but frankly I don't see any problem. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Just remember to please keep it civil, polite, and respectful. That's what separates the good forums from the crap boards.
