So my car (2019 S3), which I picked up today, has Audi-Sport logos on them...not stickers...but I have never seen these wheels on a S3 before. Were they an option from the factory? I have seen similar for a TTRS so not sure if they were optioned from Audi originally or have been purchased after this. Any help appreciated.

They are 19" 10 spoke Y shape alloys - They come as standard fit on the current Q2 Black edition , maybe some other models too ?

i just found an article from Evo saying that this design was unique to the R8 in 20", so it would seem that they're not unique in a 19" size which mine are.

I’ve seen a few S3s for sale with them, all were 2019 if my memory serves me correctly

It looks like they were Black Edition Plus wheels.

As above, black edition wheels at the very end of the 8V facelift before the 8Y came out. Mostly seen on black cars. Nearly got one myself.

Lots of examples on AT:

You purchased it without knowing what wheels were on it??
