So gentlemen, look what I have found on one of the local online selling markets. Seller says that the wheels are original audi's wheels. But the number is absolutely unknown 8Y0601025H.
Disk parameters are exactly the same as I have on my stock A3 8V wheels. 8.0JxR18 et46. So probably these are for a3 model.

Today I went to local dealer so they can try to search for this item in their system. These rims can be found in ETKA, although they can't be identified to any model/year etc. Dealer workers told me that they meet something like this for the first time during all their experience.

Audi dealer told me, that 8Y code doesn't exist so far for any Audi's model. Maybe 8Y will replace 8V series?
So how do you think, what are these? Fake? Chineese replicas? Or new 2020 model's a3 leaked rims?
Probably tomorrow I will drive 150km to the seller to buy those. So I'm very curious what they are. And where did they came from :D

p.s. design reminds me one of the concept arts fro upcoming a3 sedan. Is that coincidence or real stuff with new design? :)

There is something similar in terms of design to this concept from web.

Look ok to me, but would need to see on a car to see if they look right.

Problem with twisted alloys, is that unless they are twisted left AND right, then they go forwards on one side of the car, and backwards on the other. Always looks odd, as they look better on one side than the other.

Escort RS Turbo being a perfect example.

Frankly, not my cup of tea, because of the bent spokes and they look difficult to clean with the nooks and crannies from the OP's pics

It is not a beag deal if you have ceramic coating on your wheels. Ive got rims with complicated design now. And it is not very hard to clean. Just rim cleaner + brush. And it is pretty clean :) I will try them out soon, so we'll see :)


These are different. But it is definitely a new genuine a3's rims. Probably they will appear after new model will be announced :)
