Is there any good RS3 replica rims out there with ET45+ or any other rims with the same style?

I found some really good looking RS3 replica on ebay but the ET was to low. I want be able to ship the rims to EU.

cheers
 
Big thanks!

They will fit "bult on" on my s3 8p?

Anyone with experience of these rims?
 
Hi there User10. I know that Kriminal on here bought a set of top quality reps and they look amazing on his car.

Here are some pics -

Here is his thread from when he had them fitted.

This is a link to where he bought them from. Hope this helps :wub: xx

Niiiiice! I just emailed projexuk about price and if it's bult on replacement. I hope they will ship to EU country... :)

I now have som good info to move on, thanks again. :D
It looks like Kriminal have a A3 so my S3 should would have a lower drop. That would not be any problem? :readit:

I now have 18" original S3 rims with 225-40-18 tires...
 
Your car will have a lower drop than Kriminal's, but that shouldn't cause you any problems, so long as the offset of the wheel is no lower than ET45. I think these wheels are 18x8J ET45, so you could lower them even more than the standard S3 suspension without problems. I have 18x8J ET44 (on 225/40/18) at the moment, lowered 25mm on H&R springs and have no issues (used to rub when going over a dip in the road sometimes, but I removed the wheel arch screw on the rear of mine and no rubbing at all now). :wub: xx
 
Ok! :)

How is the quality on these rims on ebay for example? Any different compare with rs3 original?

So, correct me if i'm wrong, if i get wheels with a lower offset than my 'standard' ill only encounter problems with rubbing if i then lower it too much?
 
I think I have decided for gun metal rs3 replica rims. Now I'm waiting for all answers from ebay users and uk stores of tje shipping costs.

Over a day in the waiting game. It scratches to much in the fingers... :happy:
 
I wouldn't buy any wheels with a polished face ever again. As soon as one gets a dink on it the corrosion starts and starts to lift the laquer away.
Not money well spent in my book
 
I have now ordered these on eBay! :)

I'll post some pics when the rims are installed ;)

They look great mate!
I love the matt finish (like OEM) and not gloss like some other reps.
18's? Looking forward to seeing these fitted!

Et45 is so tucked in for the 18's.. Especially if they re 18*8..

I have ET35 with 18*9 BBS, it rubs a little with 2.25 camber right now but the appearence is very nice for my taste :)

Just what I thought. Therefore the gloss one didn't win the choice. :)

I'll hopefully have them installed about 2 weeks.

So tucked in at ET45?? Any further OUT (ie any less than ET45) and they will definitely rub! I wouldn't fancy buying tyres for your car with your current set up, lol. :wub: xx
 
I have the rims mounted now! :) I was amazed because I didn't know that tires were included.
The bolts was lost during the transport but I used the Audi original and it seems to fit good.

I'll post some pics soon!

Well done, these look great.
Certainly one of the best reps of this style I have seen.
Seem to have a decent concave to them also.
Looking forward to more pics.
