    18" A5 S-Line alloys on A3 8P ?

    Hi All, I just found a good set of 18 inch A5 S-Line alloys and need to know if they will fit on my A3 8P ? Offset wise wheel websites show the A5 alloys as offset 29 ? As such the poke would be 46mm Would this work ? Are my offsets correct for the A5 ? Thanks !

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

    So, I got me an A3 and the 16's fitted are just lame. I have the chance of a set of 18 x 8.5J ET 45 Radi8 wheels but not sure if I need 18 or 19's as I would like the slammed stanced look but also want to retain some practicality as it will be driven by my wife who has parking issues. Will the...

    Thanks Jake These are Radi8 R8B12 used @ £600 so seem like a good value set of wheels. Would be a shame to buy and find out they don’t fit so will hang out for another opinion if you are unsure. Thanks for replying

    Interior wraps (pics wanted)

    I've just wrapped the trim on my A3. Took 3 go's to get it right on the driver door trims due to the number of curves and bends but the end result is astounding.
