S3 Alloy can any one help?

[mk1chopper]

Hi all, I discovered over christmas while changing my brake pads that one of my S3's alloys is a replica, and even worse its got the wrong offset. Id rather not pay the £280 that Audi wants for a brand new one so does anyone have a second hand one for sale or know where i could pick one up from, does'nt need to be perfect (dont mind if its kerbed as i need to get mine referbed) just not flat spotted or buckled

Can get them from Vag parts, £190 for wheel and cap. Not cheap but cheaper than Audi.

IMO £190 is very good for an OE "18 wheel

ebay or specilists. problem is trying to get hold of one. most people sell full sets. might have to get a brand new one

an s3 wheel is 17" isnt it?

 

[tommo-turbo]

It is indeed matey. 17" wheel with 5x100 PCD.

There was an 18" RSTT option

cheers for the advice people, although vag parts show it being £190 after you add VAt and postage its almost as expensive as audi, i'll keep an eye open on ebay, anyone know what size spacer i would need to make the replica sit out as far as the others? its ET is 35 were as the audi ones are 32, does this mean i need a 3mm spacer?

oem is 7.5jx17 et 32. Some aftermarket are 7j only.

BTW, you have a pm!
