The RSQ8 didn’t once live in SW WA state by chance did it? I have a friend that had one wrapped flat black identical to that. Now he’s in a flat black wrapped RS6 Avant.
This is actually an Avant as well! Not sure of its provenance, but I assumed it came to the Atlanta area dealer we bought it from via someone local. The matte wrap looks pretty sweet, but it could really use a ceramic coating, it holds grime like glue!
I like the idea of winter tyres, but I don’t want another set of rims.
What would be an issue with winter tyres on 21/20 rims? If any.
My winter wheels are also 20/21. I got a separate set of wheels after research here showed that swapping the tires twice a year could result in damaging the wheels. Also having a second set of wheels means I can swap them myself, without needing to go to the tire shop twice a year.
...and since we're talking about changing wheels, these alignment pins makes it so much easier to take off and re-install the wheel...especially the rear 21"
PSA on those wheel alignment pins... DO NOT get the ones with the knurled edge. It scratches the hell out of your rim's bolt hole for no good reason. Get one that is smooth. The wheel/tire is heavy enough that even with a smooth edge, it is not sliding off those pins at all. in fact, you will appreciate being able to slide the rim onto the hub and not have that knurling scratch up your rims. I got this one after using one with the knurled edge for a while:

Anyone have a good suggestion for a wall mounted inflation system?
I played with ideas for a while. I needed a setup that would not detract from the decor of my garage! I looked at a lot of options, but couldn’t find any that I thought were aesthetic enough. So I decided to mount a self-retractable hose reel at the top of the stairs that lead from my garage to my basement. All you see in the garage is the end of the hose and the wall switch. When I need it, I just pull it out and pop on the inflator. The hose is 75’. When I’m done, I give it a tug to release it, then it retracts back into the wall. I have to admit, it’s pretty darn slick!
And in my other garage, I don’t have anything behind the wall, so I hid the compressor inside a cabinet.
