Avant with Sportec 19"...

[AlanN]

Well I've finally got my 19" Sportec wheels fitted, and IMHO the car looks great :0:

RS6 with Sportecs Pics (http://www.pbase.com/algape.rs6)

However, the day before I collected them (thanks again Damian if you read this) I hit the pothole also at the above link and wrecked two of the standard wheels
:bang:

I couldn't avoid it, traffic coming the other way and as you can see this monster covered half of my side of the road!

And I was only doing 50-60mph, had the parents on board :nono:

Now there is no way I can blame the quality/strength of the wheel, but what I will rant about is the state of our roads :w:

This was NOT a country back-route, it's an "A" road that is a very busy cut through from the M11 to the A1M

You can't go wrong with this look

LOL! Although I'm sorry to hear about the damage, you even got a picture of the pothole.
Maybe we should have a top ten worst potholes list :brag:

[krm]

Sorry about the damage to the standard wheels, but those sportecs sure do look stunning on your Avant!

:addict:

2046,

Apparently, the Canadian RS6's will have an additional strip on the front bumper to meet the crash regulations. I hope it's not too ugly!.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I think they look the dog's!

Erik,
the picture of the pothole is so that I can claim for the cost of the wheels (the tyres were wrecked too) from the local autority responsible for that stretch of road :hahahehe:

2046,
nope, the 340R was sold last month to a lucky owner in Paris!
My track car is now the Ultima :wo:

Alan, I know exactly how that feels, see:

Everything ended up OK, except for a large hole in my wallet!
