The car drives pretty much as it did with the standard wheels, So im happy all round.
As for the wheels being heavy... they are as near as dam it the same as the standard S3 rims
 
I like chunky spokes on a car like this.
My plan is to get another set of light weight wheels for any sporty driving. but im more than happy with how it looks and drives with these on
 
thats all that matters
you like them
but they do look pretty good
 
****** hell, after all these years, someone has managed to do something original :O I'm properly shocked.

Takes a few minutes of staring at it, but yea, they look wicked!

Nice one Paul. Details?
 
Nice one, they look great! Fills out those arches really well!
 
Like them paul they look nice.

You busy next friday night as im on about going to one of sandips meets so convoy maybe?
 
There's something about Porsche wheels that just works well with S3's, the colour is bang on too Paul well done mate good choice.

Chris.
 
Prawn...
Is that sarcasm? i realy havent seen these wheels on an S3 before,
They are Porsche Cayenne wheels,
8j ET57, Im Using 40mm H&R adaptors,
I was unsure they would clear straight out of the box so to speak. But they do and im happy.
Dan, this or nex friday? what sort of time?
 
Can't help thinking the centrecaps need colour coding too.

I thought this too mate,
But to be honest i decided to they suited the silver mirrors , Broke up the darkness so to speak.
 
Next friday mate but unsure, going to find out though.
 
i was actually going to buy a set of these last week but thought they might have looked odd on an s3, god i was so wrong and should have snapped the bargain up :-/

they look sweet mate
 
Thanks all,
I decided on these after many many months
I did at first borrow a set of 25 mm adaptors... they looked lost in the arch, Im glad i braved the 40 mm option in the end
 
Nice choice of wheels. Colour Looks ace against the paint. I'm same on the centres, think it would finish them nicely

Dave the phone did the dislike lol not me. And the thanks ;)
