Alloy wheel photo thread

[Phil3]

Ive been looking at different alloys for a little while now and always get close to buying but then think, what if they won’t look right! So I thought I’d get a tread going for people to post their photo of different wheels I don’t mean just general photos... I mean fitted photos, so me and others can get the idea of how they look on the cars, and you you to show them off, cheers...

Mine are Racingline R360 wheels 19X8.5 et44, in all 4 corners with 10mm front and 12mm rear spacers.

 

[Toshers]

What springs do you have fitted Harith?

 

[Slowracer]

Hadith, are the spacers just for looks or do you need them to clear the brakes.

Ohlins coilovers

Need the spacers mainly to clear the front brakes

Ispiri FFR1D ET 42 with 7mm spacers front and 5mm spacers. I had 5mm spacers for front but still locked hard to calliper so 7mm is needed even though Ispiri say you don’t.

Running the standard staggered tires.
255/30/19 front
235/35/19 rear

Last picture my MSS track kit was just fitted (so still to settle in and drop a touch more)

Raclingline R360 wheels for me too, but had them powder coated (as they don't come in black).
19" 8.5J ET44 plus 5mm spacers front and rear.

 

[Nickyc]

Any 8.5s that dont need spacers ?

Black looks stunning and goes well with the blackout accents.

Without being sure (I've got them on a Mk7 golf GTI PP) I'd hazard a guess that they would fit - they're listed as fitting on the website and I doubt BBS would need spacers to get them to fit.

 

[Nickyc]

Sorry. What wheels are you referring to ?

Actually referring to the wheels would have definitely helped lol. I'm referring to BBS SR 19x 8.5 ET 46. There is literally tons of room (over an inch?) behind the spokes to my GTI PP brakes (exactly the same as S3 brakes).

 

[Slowracer]

Great thread, keep it coming.

 

[H4RDYRS3]

I fitted Revo RVO19's in gloss black to mine
ET45
8.5X19"
Straight on with no spacers and they are lighter than stock wheels too.

 

[Toshers]

@Harith, are you running the staggered tyre sizes with these wheels?

 

[Harith]

I'm running 235/19 all round.

Are the RS3 calipers the same as the s3s ? thought they were bigger ?

Oh they're definitely different, but the gaps behind the spokes on my BBS SRs are absolutely massive. I'd also guess that (being BBS and TUV approved) as BBS list them as fitting the RS3, they'll fit with no spacers etc.

RS3 calipers massively bigger.

Anyone not happy with their rotors and want to sell, just give me a shout

 

[trilla]

I've never seen Ispiri wheels outside of Audi guys, what's good about them? Seems like they're very similar to more expensive brands like Vossen for less money?

Personally I think the cars look great on the rotors with spacers. I would only upgrade wheels to a forged set from a proper manufacturer like OZ or BBS

 

[teslaboy]

Yep.
I always wanted the blades on my sportback.
Do you have blades and if so which ones?

 

[billymc92]

I will let mine go for the right price

Spend me a PM with a price and a few pics. Thanks

To many people put OZ on the rs3. I fancied something different

Just removed my OZ Daker 20x9 ET45 with 235/30 Conti Sport 6 all round (Now for sale), and fitted OZ Leggara HLT 8.5x19 ET38 - No spacers required - Running Conti Sport 5 255/30 and 235/35. These wheels withoutt yres are under 10kg each!





I dont think the pictures do these wheels justice - Well pleased with them

No rubbing issues with 8.5J ET38 and 255s at the front?

 

[Slowracer]

I think it looks great as is. With the extra offset is closes the gap to the guards.

No rubbing at all, and we’re lowered 20mm on MSS Sport.

 

[Toshers]

Harith, do you have any more pictures showing full side of the car? Interested in these wheels and trying to get a feel for how they look on the saloon. More pics would be great

This is the only one I have with a bit of a side view of the car...

Seeing this makes me want to lower my car even more

Think a tweak of the MSS is required lol

Find it a bit odd you’re taking an internet... when you drive your car you can’t see the wheels so I won’t bother
