European Vehicle & Model Codes
German car manufacturers assign internal model codes to each type / generation of vehicle that they produce. This code is extremely beneficial in identifying parts and accessories for vehicles that span multiple generations.
Audi uses a Typ (or type) code system in which a number follows a letter (for example: Audi A4 8K).

Matthew Knight2023-12-04I could not be happier with a set of four new, genuine Mercedes-Benz forged wheels that I purchased from LWC. Not only was the price extremely competitive but they offer custom powder-coating options. FedEx managed to damage the powder coat on one of the rims, despite it being extremely well packed and LWC immediately took full responsibility and shipped me a replacement. It is great to find a vendor that stands behind their product and ensures that the client is happy!

Steve Morales (Steve0411)2023-08-10Dan was amazing! Didn't know he was so close to me. We ended up installing the next day after purchasing the wheels. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was smooth and worked flawlessly. Don't hesitate to do business with this company. Product was better than I hoped for and service was outstanding. Thanks again!
