Not in Akoya, but these are the best I could find. I've been searching the net for one in Akoya myself this past week, but had no luck.

Will these spec wheels fit my 57 Audi A3 TDi Sport? 18", OFFSET: ET 35, 4 X 8.5 J, BORE 66.6 mm. With the option of lowering with the Eibach sportline springs?

No, ET is too low and the centre bore is too high. You can get an adapter for the bore, but that'd only lower the offset further.

Oh They are the Mercades slr turbines, ive seen them on an A3 on here before?

 

[MartayMcFly]

Maybe running 18s you could get a stretched tyre and roll the arch, but I doubt it. Are you sure you're not thinking of Luke's Alphards?

 

[chris.vincent3]

Found the photo, was on a Golf.. Not an A3 :/ My bad... They look amazing imo.

 

[AudiSBE]

Has anyone put these are there A3

Ibis S3 with black Rotiform BLQ's | VAGOC.co.uk

 

[chris.vincent3]

So the Merc wheels wont fit on an A3? Glolfs can take a lower ET? :/ That sucks..

 

[MartayMcFly]

That's a Mk4 golf, the old 8Ls could probably take a wider wheel at the back too (since they're the same platform).

Those wheels will fit. A few mm of poke at the front and just tucked/flush at the rear. You'd need to run a 215/35/18 tyre. And use spigot rings to bring the centre bore from 66.6 to 57.1, this won't affect the offset

Ah im torn! Not sure if i should chance it and go for it, how sure are you that they will fit?

 

[jrsmooth]

Was browsing the web when I stumbled across these. You've probably seen them before, but thought I'd share anyway...

Has anybody got more info on this wheels? I cannot seem to find any with the same "concavity" as these?

 

[Ash187]

they are the New RS6 alloys, but the original RS6 alloys dont fit the A3 as the offset is way too low and the alloys too wide so you would need to get the reps

Thanks for the reply! Are these reps then or the real mcoys?

 

[Ash187]

the ones in the pics above look like real ones

 

[shady_character19]

wheels are 18'' 8.5j and cars at standard ride height for the min

 

[Bramley]

Go for number 2! Just fitted some on my silver a3 with sportlines on, looks sooo sweet! 10mm spacer on back nd will be sorted!

WHICH WHEELS SHOULD I GET??!

All the same price, all aftermarket. Want 18" as recently brought new tyres and think 19" will rub and be harshes ride.
