I came across this: Audi guide for correct wheel fitment, PCD, and offset of your car | Alloy Wheel Fitment. don't know how official/accurate it is, so you may need to confirm the ET ranges with someone more in the know, but it might be of some use just as something to work off of.

Something I have started to think about is the weight of the alloy wheels. Should weight be an important consideration in choosing a wheel? There's not really a lot of information about the weights of an alloy when you're browsing, so I got to thinking how important it actually was?

While that is of course true, I generally ask out of curiosity for other people's tastes =] I quite like seeing what other people's opinions on styles are, and thinking about why that may be (it generally helps if they're able to explain their opinion too of course). I can see the appeal of some...

Ah. Admittedly I did make that assumption. Perhaps I got you confused with someone else on this forum with a similar name... And, y'know, as a relatively new member to this forum and hobby, I'm pretty open to being educated. Got any specific examples of some better aftermarkets, pal?

I've always found that to be an interesting comment. It's a line of criticism that gets bandied about so much. The comment gets levelled for so many undisclosed reasons that I always find it hard to work out what actually qualifies as "something you'd pick up at Halfords to stick on your Corsa...

Yeah, I've seen them, and I do like that style. However, I've heard a couple of particularly bad stories regarding Wolfrace alloys in general, and wouldn't feel overly comfortable with spending that amount of money for those wheels when I could get a better quality set for the same amount.

Well, I did start off looking for used OEMs. I mean, they're official, and thus less hassle and all that. However, I had some trouble finding a set that were affordable and yet don't appear to have been mauled. So I went to look at aftermarkets because I got a bit bored of looking at the same...

Yeah. It does seem like most people who don't run OEMs for life tend to prefer ones that at least look like an OEM rim, or are otherwise loving the many-spokes racing style ones. And if you're not in any of those camps then you probably run 3SDMs, lol. But, evidently, manufacturers cater to...

Yeah, I was looking through those earlier. Not sure the Turini's are to my taste, but thanks for the input =] Although, I DO quite like these Speedline Corse Imperatore (Gloss Black with Polished Face) Alloy Wheels (Alloys) - Rimstyle.com. However, they are majorly out of my budget =[ I dunno...

Those are pretty cool, actually. Though I am kind of wanting to go with a darker set of wheels that aren't solid black (my A3 is a solid black). I figure a gunmetal/anthracite set would be light enough to contrast, but dark enough to keep with the kind of look I'm wanting. Also, I will never...

Nothing too exciting. Had a weekend shift at the lab, so drove to work in it. Must say though, the only good thing about having to work on a Sunday is that the roads are fairly empty, allowing me to hoof it somewhat =]

Sorry for double post, but I've actually found a reference pic for the MOMOs: Audi A3 II avec jantes MOMO QUANTUM 19" Those are apparently 19s, but they don't look half-bad. Then again, I'm aware photoshop can do wonders, but that's the only pic I could find. I reckon, even without photoshop...

NHN: Is that because you don't like the look of them, or you're a staunch advocate of OEMs? mjr901: See, I actually came across the Dezents first before the MOMOs and, the more I think about it, the more the MOMOs actually don't look too bad (does help that they're a 1/3 cheaper than the...

So I was searching for a replacement to my stock 16" 9-arm alloys (the ones with the thick arms and really small gaps that make cleaning the inside of the alloys a pain in the ****) with either 18" MOMO Quantum (Matt Anthracite) Alloy Wheels for Your Audi A3 All Models - Rimstyle.com or...

Out of curiosity: to those who have changed their grill from the stock one, what did you decide to do with the radiator cover? There's already a link to this in the stickied FAQ thread anyway.
