It’s another way of hiking up rates using the manufacturers name.Could someone explain how a Audi wheel refurb company is any different to other wheel refurb business? Surely a wheel is a wheel is a wheel...
The local company I use has BMWs, Audis, Volvos etc etc...
According to this https://tirewheelguide.com/sizes/audi/a3/2004/ 2004 A3 has 18s max oem size. Need more details to calculate - rim width and et.Anyone know if a 19 inch from a5 fit on a 2004 a3 ?
Remove one and see what VW Group part numbers are cast into the rear side of it. Along with all the other salient details like ET rim width and rim type.
I've no idea why I thought I had 20" alloys, they are 19" lol Part number is 8K0601025GN and it says 8.5Jx19H2 ET43
I'm wondering if this replica would be safe to use?
Amazon Replica
I'm not sure, but I would rather get aftermarket wheels from a reputable brand than purchase a replica product.
That was strange, I ordered them on Saturday evening and first thing Sunday morning Amazon cancelled the order - apparently because the seller didn't notify them of a shipment date. Give them a chance! lol
It's weird, I guess it's time for you to look for another store to buy that wheel. As I mentioned, some of the aftermarket wheels have a similar five-spoke design. You can check automotive stores like 4WheelOnline or check Google for more options.
After seeing your post i goggled the name of those of maker of wheels and found a place in Northern Ireland that sold their products . cant remember the name but def worth searching for if you need one. Also the search came up with a number of reviews which were all positiveAye, I spoke with customer service and they couldn't explain it, so I ordered again and it cancelled straight away. Apparently no stock.
I think I'll just leave it and if something goes wrong with the repair I'll take your advice and just replace the whole lot with aftermarket ones, which will probably be cheaper than a single oem one lol
