            It starts to rumble over 80mph, when i got some tyres swapped over the fitter mentioned it, didnt see it myself, so it went on the rear.

              Should be a better chance to sort than a rep one.

              How bad is it and did you do it since sat?

                Yes.
                About £50 a wheel though.

                  No, when i bought the set, two tyres needed replacing so when this was being done thats when it was noticed.
                  they are replicas i think, what ET are OEM RS4 alloys?

                      Bit of a coincidence that....................
                      They've just done some for me as they are just round the corner.
                      I've not tried the wheels yet but they certainly looked alot straighter.

                          No. It was next day.
                          The guy doesn't repair them onsite at Melton.
                          I can't recommend him until I have tried my wheels.
