1.8T Alloys question

[LexDiamond]

Greetings folks. Been lurking for a while but joined up so 1st post. Have a quick question:



The above is a 03 1.8T but the alloys are different to the usual 1.8T's. Were these standard for the later ones or is this an optional extra thats been added.

They look like B6 A4 alloys, not sure if they were available as an option at the time, unless they're replicas as originals wouldn't fit an A3.

optional extra from new @ £160, they're called 7Jx17 5 spoke alloy wheels

Thanks.

I'm looking at buying one but wanted a completely standard one so was just checking back.

Not many people could have opted for them as I've never seen them on an A3 before, but I guess they were only available for a year.

I actually quite like the standard 1.8T alloys. Those ones are quite nice too but the standard ones just suit the car so well.

Got them on mine. Its a 2001, but I think the garage put them on to sell it.

Look very nice. I'm hoping to buy one like that if its still available in a few weeks.
