Unique??  What would be unique is an Audi rim that doesn't leak.  Audi
rims are made of Britshitium, a material that manages to oxidize in a
vacuum.  The salt belt is especially hard on Audi wheels.  I managed to
get slow leakage under control in a couple of the Audi's by taking an
angle grinder with a wire cup to where the rubber meets the Britshitium
on the wheel.  Followed by a liberal coating of black sealer.  Other
listers have gone as far as refinishing the wheels in order to get the
leaks under control.
