Default Quiet ride at last. And new wheels for the //S... Hartmann B7 RS4 reps

Replaced wheel bearings, rotors, pads, and finally the Hartmann's came in, and I could put the new rubber on the //S. //Silence is //sweet!

Default D'oh! There goes my thunder...

I just got my (non-Hartmann) B7 RS4 reps in this afternoon from Achtun!ng. I opted for the deal they had going on the Wheel&amp;Tire Forum. $1350 for Falkens and the wheels shipped and I couldn't pass it up. But I must say, your set looks outstanding!! You even get the Audi center caps. Sweet!

Here's mine FWIW:

Hmmmm, that's interesting. The camera I used at work made my car look black. Here's my home camera:

Does anyone know if this wheel is available in a 5 spoke?

Default How's this for color? I used Picasa - it's the fastest, easiet picture program, and it's free..

Go to www.picasa.com.
During the install, don't let it search the entire drive -- just choose the folders you want, otherwise you will get every little gif, bmp, jpg... etc.

Play with Saturation (under effects) and color temperature (under tuning). There is also Auto-Color and Auto-Contrast...and other easy fixes. Then export using automatic mode, resize or keep original size...and then use the new copy to post. It takes about 30 seconds.

The program is perfect for making just about every adjustment...expept for pasting your boss's head on a giraffe. For that you need photoshop.

Is it blue like that? or is that too much? ;-)

Default Yeah, I used Photoshop to

equalize the colors. Unfortunately, I used the auto feature instead of manually adjusting the levels. I have it down to a science for inside shots, but I didn't have the time to mess around with color correction for outdoor shots. Plus I didn't change my camera settings for outdoor photos (oops!). Thanks for the input though, I appreciate it! :-)

Default The closest I've seen are the R8 wheels.

Check out this recent post for photos. They look really nice.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/169690.phtml">R8 reps</a></li></ul>

Default Nice and sexy.

I have been looking at reps for my A6 and those were one of my favs too.
