So nice, I see this around swad all the time.

Will front ET44 8.5j and rear ET46 9.5j fit ok?
They are 18's and at the min have 225/40 on the front and 225/35 on the rears, would those tyres work untill I could get them swapped for 215/40 front and 225/40 rears?
 
STUNNING ,

You can find em, I have a set :laugh:

His are reps, not rotors off the A5, 19x9 ET33 won't work.

I've got some BBS RK501s that are 18x9.0J on an ET32; and they fit with 235/40 no rubbing at all. Admittedly it's not dropped to the weeds, but it's not a 4x4 either. What makes you say that 19x9 ET33 won't fit an A3?

You need a private plate Ash on the rear, your rear bootlid looks awful with that plate on it :laugh:

I've searched, but not found.

I want to see/know how 3SDM 0.01s & 0.05's look in staggered 18 - 8.5 et 40 x 9.5 et45 & staggered 19 - 8.5 et 40 x 9.5 et 45

Can anyone help?
 
hey guys this seems like the thread was wondering if you could recommend some alloys 18's 19's or 20's that i could possibly go dual colour on ( car colour on insdie black on outside kind of thing)

rotors! 18s or 19s depending on what you prefer the look and ride of
20s are really if you have air... N8 will advise lol

And had the old wheels refurb'd at Bourne Powder Coaters and now have my winter tyres fitted to these -

They did a great job at just £35 per wheel (£42 inc vat).
 
Quick question for you wheel experts. Where is the best place to get different coloured inserts for BBS wheels. Want to see what white inserts would look like on my Anthracite BBS CK's.
 
Does anyone know if Mercedes brabus monoblock iv's would fit straight on a a3 8p2? Cheers
 
Anyone running something similar to this? Looks smart, small alloys lowered on some nice thick tyres.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some white 17inch rims for my white 2012 Sportback :sm4:.
Any ideas what could look good?
 
Well avoid things like BBS Ch/Cks, the centre section is too chunky on smaller wheels. Similarly, anything with a lip will look even smaller. Something chunky like TT Comps, or something off an old A8 would probbaly work, but make sure they're 5x112 pcd.
