Should I change my alloys? Opinions please

pop80_uk · Aug 27, 2019

Hey all
I have a Audi S3 in Suzuka Grey, with 10 spoke design titanium matt audi alloy wheels.

I have always been a fab of the 5 spoke box design Audi alloys.

But I can not decide if I should swap, and also which looks best.

I have attached some pictures.

Opinions, thoughts and help appreciated.

Thanks

Looks great as it is

I prefer your original wheels.

I've always thought the 18" S3 wheel design was a bit chunky and clunky. Your original wheels look better IMO, but I would say that.
The S3 saloon 19" wheels are more in proportion, look much better than the S3 wheels but weren't an option.

10 spoke looks better in my opinion.
I had similar looking alloys in my a6 in 19s.
It’s a nice subtle classy look and not too flashy/ bling bling.

Thanks guys, really happy with the responses so far, and I think you have saved me about £800

I have both the shiny silver (summer) and titanium (winter) 10spoke alloys and much prefer them to the other OE choices.
Keep yours as is.

Original wheels look the best. One of Audi's best designs, and not copied to death like the Rota's have been.

Here is mine and I way prefer the look and really easy to clean, unlike my original 19"
Audi RS6 ET47 19 x 8.5 replica wheels and they are well made...not cheap knock offs.

Top look better imo. I’d like those in my rs3

Personally I like most of the wheels Audi have optioned for the S3, just choose whatever pleases you most as it's your car at the end of the day.

I think the 10 spoke look nicer on the SB.

I don’t like the 18 standards but love the 19s.

Yer existing alloys are to be honest the least attractive alloy Audi put on a S3...why do l think this
they're design shrinks the size of them,the finish also has a dull appearance never liked these alloys,l would opt for a 19" design which would cost more but look far far better on your car...sideways move going for the other 18" design again not that much of a fan of these either..keep saving,also a 19" alloy will give you wider tyres and better road holding,yeah ride will be firmer but for improved aesthetics it's a no brainer

Agree with Jassy, The SB wears 19s well and 235 tires sort the handling out.
