The "Rimz" Thread ** Look here before requesting pics of specific wheels**

Yep... probably on coils... but on a budget :ninja:
Still not sure on 18's or 19's purely from a comfort view, i dont want to feel every crappy pothole and i drive around alot of speed bumps in London and dont want it catching the front splitter
 
I have heard the ride is more crashy on 19's and i do loads of miles a year... dont want to do my back in and constantly have to fork out on expensive rubber bands... but im still considering 19's as it just looks amazing!

When i do go down the alloy route i will be fitting coils on first and alloys later... don't want to have the Q7 look
 
Hmmm... your on air though... just hovering around :p
i need to start with the coils and see how that feels and then go from there. but to be honest that would probably be later on in the year... got too much going on now and want to do the auto lights/rain sensor install first... and i still need to buy the proper mirror

BBS RS I believe, yeh Ian has nailed them on his S3. But his are Super RS, not sure on what the differences are..

They are 3 piece RS's. Mine are 2 piece Super RS's and I think mine look too small at times, especially the front. Your right though mate, they are too small for a SB, you can get away with them on a MK5 but not the Audi.
 
Ian i am absolutely in love with your alloys! seriously one of the best examples of an A3 on here... :wub:

Still waiting to see what N8 pulls out for his new alloys :ninja:

I disagree, the 18"s look spot on the S3, finest in the land IMO.

The silver A3 is fitted with the Votex kit. It was a factory fitted option. I have it on my car too!

Big no!
Bolt pattern is way off! you need to get 5x112 and offset above 42 is recommended.

is there no way to make these fit as i really like them and may have already got clicky finger happy and brought them
 
depends what offset the ones are that you have ordered as you will need pcd adapters to make them fit, which will make them stick out of the arch more

:lmfao: yes! The first thing is to get it notched and sort the from end so it sits even.

Grill is now black, got 2011 rear lights and repainted tank.

Got heaps of plans, so keep your eyes peeled ;)

the offset can't be a range it is just a number like 42, the same goes for the pcd it can't be 120 &130
you must have had some correspondence with them confirming width, offset & pcd?!
 
have had no email confirming order as yet will have to ring them monday and find out what they are, what offset and pcd am i looking for ?
 
Hi all, Im looking to get some rotiforms and i know a guy selling some and the stud pattern is 5x100 would that fit my 04 plate audi a3? Apparently he said my style a3 is 5x112? ...
Thanks JM
