Very nice Pete. I imagine that they look bigger coz you've dropped it on its ****?
I would have loved to take your CH's off you, but still awaiting the decision from work on my bonus!!

nice, love it i actually think it almost looks like its meant to be there, similar style to some vw oem wheels too cant go wrong with that
Cheers for the comments. I didn't think they look all that big, but very used to seeing the car on 19's, as had 19" BBS LM Reps before the CH's.
I'm really pleased with the style - it's a 'classic' wheel design, and doesn't look too aftermarket which was my concern.

Tidy!
I think they look bigger because you had black wheels before and the new contrast is deceiving you! Black wheels never look big i reckon.

Strangely I thought the CH's looked a lot bigger! It's the 40 profile tyres it's got on now that make them look small to me.

I like those a lot mateSo what are your summer wheels?
Cheers. Summer wheels should be revealed in the next few weeks!
Pretty nice for 18's, i like.
I liked your CH's more, but then i'm biased.
My CH's rocked, but unfortunately were too good (and worth too much) to just use as winter wheels. My summer wheels should hopefully be a bit special!!

They don't look big to me at all, but they do look nice Pete, and I like the choice of your summer wheels....
I know the guy behind the Cades range, so he did me them at mates rates. But RRP is just £500 inc VAT per set, so very good value still at that price I reckon.
Agreed, they look like 18's I think. Not big, not small, just 18's...
Oh and that's assuming the ones you know about aren't decoy summer wheels

The rims look sharp Pete, great choice, suit the car well, very OEM. Throw in some Audi center caps and you wouldn't know!They look like a cross between BBS RC and CH's and loving the look of your car in general, it's giving me inspiration:icon_thumright:
I may look at getting some Summer/Winter set of rims

Only if they're your only set! As I have special summer wheels also, that makes me a super-hetro-stud

All I did was put up one post saying I might sell them and I was fighting off offers
They were great wheels, but I think I'm too young still to settle down with just one set.Cheers. Should be around 60-65mm with the measurements I took last year.

Nice rimmage - look alot like HRE Monoblock's which are up there as one of my all time fav wheels.
Always wondered what they'd look like on the A3. Any chance of a side on pic?

Yeah very very similar to the HRE's, which are awesome wheels I agree.
Just taken this pic for you:
Quality not great, as in my garage, with my phone, etc. Hope it's some use!!

Thanks. I've not heard of Cades before. Just checked the website - a bit basic but not bad though.
Do you know if the standard audi centre caps fit?

It's a new brand, but the guy behind it has been in the wheel game for years. Not sure if the standard Audi centres fit, but sure they'd hook you up with Audi badges for the new centre caps if not.
I Like them, the black looks quite good too, i've got the option of either having mine refurbed or getting new set and then just using the originals for winter. I'd love 19's but they wouldn't last long around here and i think the ride would be way too hard.
I've never had a different set of wheels for each season, but quite like the idea. Just need to think of a good autumn set...
If I'm honest, I noticed no real difference changing from 35 profile on the 19's to 40 profile on the 18's.
Unfortunately not available in 19's right now. But would look very good on that if they did!

Cheers. The lights are one of the few things I want to do, and keep looking out for them, but they don't seem to turn up all that often...
