Nice rims, plenty of sidewalk lookers I am sure....
.....a guy I know owns an Audi dealer and 18 months ago he set up a 'wheel refurb service'. Many of his customers who bought new Audi's with 19 & 20" rims have, within 12 months kerb'd them or damaged them on the road. The dealership now makes a mint skimming, colour and lacquering damaged wheels. This market was simply not invented a few years ago....
....I heard another story that the tyre companies push 19 & 20" to the car producers knowing they will get higher margin business from the vehicle owners upon renewal or premature replacement from road damage compared to smaller sizes...
Anyone know if these are valid points?
