New rims

[S3 AD]

I finally got the 18's I wanted on my S3, what do you guys think

I like the OEM look but they just wernt big enough, so after some hunting & much thought I decided these look right

& I am very happy with the result

I've changed your link into an image as it looks so good and ppl dont have to click it

 

[matt5594]

nice, i like!

 

[nervus]

I like those too! Did they require adapters or are they 5x100 PCD?

 

[S3 AD]

no adaptors, they are 5 x 100

 

[Stewart]

Blimey, me likey as well.

Love the way it subtley improves the OEM look.

 

[Markb]

I like a lot.

Very nice.

 

[Defratos]

I don't get it, is that 18" cause it looks like the oem ones??

 

[Stewart]

Defratos, they are 18" Avus style as fitted to the S4....

Hence the question about the PCD.

 

[alecblack]

They look really smart, I had my eye on a pair of them a while ago but didnt know how they would look, nice choice

 

[silver75]

simple but effective

 

[pablo]

where can one purchase these from?

 

[Olly_K]

very subtle, very cool. just how an Audi should be

 

[col6821]

I very nearly upgraded to these last week as well, but bottled it and went for RSTT rep's........Gutted now!

 

[Olly_K]

TT reps are still cool !

 

[silver75]

That pic just highlights what a classic shape the 8l S3 was

 

[jediknight]

very nice!

 

[bantam1]

Nice - but needs lowering a touch.

 

[mattyboy199]

So where they from ? are they replicas ?

 

[phantom photon]

Like em :thumbsup:

 

[S3 AD]

Thanks for adding the PIC to the post

cheers for the positive comment guys

I agree the RSTT reps still really look good but IMHO a little to comon these days.

These are replica Avus II's I cant remember the name of the company that supplied them off hand, I will dig out the invoice when I get home to find out , but I was told they are the only place in the UK that import them ( no idea if that is correct or not)

I agree it could do with sitting a little lower, having already started down the slippery slope, coil overs are on my to do list

 

[dickys3]

Very nice mate!

 

[fingermouse]

looks good imo

 

[rraghvani]

well smart, makes my ones look tiny!

 

[S3Steve]

Looks nice, but im always suspicious of the quality of replica wheels, it really depends on the manufacturer.

 

[colinra]

These get my vote too. Very smart and subtle.

 

[Peloton]

Yeah they definetly look good!

And what a slippery slope that is! Kind of like the one you made when you were young on a long hillside in the icy winters!

 

[silver75]

Good to see everyone agreeing











dont tell JPO about this thread

 

[jonS3]

wow, they look great!

 

[mintie]

yes they do look good thinking of doing the same myself, but with a slight twist thinking of doing theem in black, not sure wiether they would look on my dark blue (not sure of the colours name)S3

 

[mattyboy199]

How much are they ?

 

[col6821]

Silverline wheels and tyres in Warwick had these in last week, it's where I purchased my RSTT reps from. The quality of my wheels (and the Avus reps I saw) is acceptable to me and I wanted to touch and feel them rather than buy off fleabay. Mine are multi-drilled, but I'm not sure about the Avus reps.
Look here: - http://www.silverlinewheels-tyres.com
Hope this helps..

 

[s3bow]

Mate, those are wicked. I've been waiting for someone to post a pic of their S3 with these on. Good choice.

Chris.

can't see them on there.

 

[mattyboy199]

So how much did you pay for them ?

 

[silver75]

this could be the biggest group buy ever

 

[col6821]

Sorry, you won't see anything good on the Silverline website, it seems more geared to the 4x4 community, but give them a call, there's a good choice of wheels and tyres available. The link was for location reference and contact details only!

 

[S3 AD]

I am really glad everyone seems to like them, I was a little unsure when ordering them - I knew they wouldnt look bad being so close to OEM 17's but I did not know they would look as good on the car as they do.

sorry cant find the invoice for the company name, but I know I paid £460 delivered, just rims no tyres - then got a friend who has a tyre fitting business to give me ' a mates rate' on some Goodyear F1's.
I have a link to the web site for the company I got them from on my PC at work, I'll probably be in the office Friday so can post the link then.

Autoalloyz sell them for 499 with tyres in 18"

 

[S3 AD]

well apparently what I was told about only 1 company inporting them was BS then, o well doesn’t matter to me.
I am just guessing here but rekon any 18'' wheel & tyre combo for 499 are gonna come with tyres that are pish at best, but i could be wrong.
