They look nice, have you noticed any difference in road noise etc......? (In the 2hrs they've been fitted)

 

[monopole]

Haha, but only 6 miles of driving. The PSS are very quiet and comfortable, but that may be because of the pressures. Waiting for the comeback on correct pressures for 19's.

 

[Q5 TRS]

I had 34 psi on 19s. As it's Quattro i would put same for all.

 

[CraigI]

Think the side on pics also look a bit high.
Did you consider a 30 profile tyre?
Lower it 10 - 15 mm and it would be perfect I think.

 

[monopole]

YES as I've already said, it was just lowered off the jacks in that pic, it has now settled again

ITS ALL GOOD NOWW

 

[The Challinor]

Very high, we need proof lol

 

[Schuey]

I may get a set of these for my S1, they're similar to the titaniums I have already but would 19's on an S1 be crashy?

A pity that I couldn't get one set to cover both S1 & S3 but the offsets are different.

Forums do become quite expensive

Hopefully it didn't need any persuasion or assistance

 

[squiretolley]

They look great! Go really well with Daytona. Really tempted with a set, but will probably wait until I need new tyres and use the stock wheels with winter tyres.

 

[squiretolley]

Were they a straight swap or did you need a spigot ring as you mentioned in an earlier post?
Cheers

 

[monopole]

spigot rings were provided with the wheels as well as new bolts (and locking wheels nuts) and as a bonus, the Audi centre caps were a straight swap - perfect fit. Now that I am happy with

 

[Allyw]

Where did you get them ? LD Prestige ? Can you post some more photos with the car settled down

 

[monopole]

I ordered from eBay Wednesday evening (as well as ordering tyres from Blackcircles), both were dispatched Thursday, both arrived Friday (and fitted by the garage) and fitted to my car today, can't beat that can you.

I will take another pic tomorrow after work (I know I know on a ****** Sunday!)

 

[monopole]

I was chatting away with the guy fitting the wheels, he has a 140BHP 2009 A3 TDI, it was parked out side, looked nice, he says he doesn't get over 300m from the tank (directly related to the way he drove it) not chipped/mapped either!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers. What diameter centre caps do you need as my caps are the star type ones.

 

[monopole]

no idea

What name are the wheels on eBay ? Had a look but can't find them

 

[Schuey]

There are similar on ebay in gunmetal grey item no 400750500133

I wonder if they have or can get them in black?

Looking good mate, those wheels in that colour really suit the monsoon, although for me it needs lowered! Is it something you plan to do?

 

[2low4u]

holy arch gap batman..

 

[monopole]

K

?

 

[Allyw]

The wheels look great , what a difference to the originals, seems to be sitting ok now.

Please.... Daytona

 

[veeeight]

Monopole, I'm going to ask the dreaded question.

Did you fit 92Y or 92Y XL tyres?

 

[The Challinor]

Yes they are XL

I zoooomed in

 

[veeeight]

Phew

That rim protector ain't gonna do much !

 

[monopole]

235/35 come in 91Y and yes they are XL

 

[monopole]

rim protectors = lol, the wheel spokes stick out a we bit

 

[J6YAK]

Please.... Daytona

Sorry!! My bad !!

Still looks good tho!!

 

[N8]

didn't opt for the F1 Assy2 but went for Michelin PSS

I've gone with MSS on the 19"s goin' on my R, how you finding them?

 

[monopole]

Not enough mileage yet to be sure (about 20 done!!!), but they do feel real comfortable, I was expecting 19's to be a little more rough so I'm not sure if 34psi is enough for these, what do you run at?

Stunning MP

They really suit your SB IMHO

My fave wheels for the S3 saloon are the 5 V-spoke design titanium, mach. pol. 8Jx19
http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/i-so-want-these-19s-on-my-s3-saloon.225742/

Not avaliable on the Uk market OEM, but I may look for reps of them as the time gets nearer

They are nice rims, not sure how'd they look on a HB or SB though.

How you finding them now? Assuming you've had the chance to put some miles on them?

 

[ndk83]

Do you spacers on?

Will these type of wheels fit to my a3 1.6 tdi at 18'' ? And if yew tell me if i will see difference to the steering wheel

 

[Relliott6879]

18s fit a 1.6 TDI fine, I've had them on mine from new (225/40/18 tyres). I obviously can't compare steering feel to yours, but mine is light as you'd ever want it to be and I've not noticed any tramlining.

 

[splash18]

I found these alloys here in Greece about 600.00 euros. There are replica but i think the price is very good and i am thinking to put them to my a3 8v
