S3 with genuine chrome alloys @ Paris Motor Show

[The Challinor]

Saw these and thought they looked pretty nice. Don't know if they will be a option and if so they won't come cheap, or if they are just for show.

Too bling in my eyes! arrggh!!

 

[RichardT]

Tacky or what!! But each to his own.

 

[Martinbanshee]

Chavtastic

That S3 just does nothing for me

 

[mfl]

oh wow - chrome rims, maybe Audi designers been watching too much west coast customs.

 

[Lewbo]

Even the chap in the background of the saloon is thinking oh no audi what have you done.

 

[Louay]

(tannoy) 'cabriolet for Paris Hilton'!! Those alloys look as good as her Dj skills

 

[Relliott6879]

I quite like the ones on the cab, but not necessarily on a red car. If the car was black, they'd look great.

 

[Martinbanshee]

Those chrome rims are just show wheels, they'll never be available to spec.

The launch S3 had chrome alloys at the Paris Motor Show two years ago.

I love all the faux snobbery flying about.

Some of the best cars have Chrome Wheels

They are just fully polished, they've been doing this for years on the R8 V10 and A8/S8 models.

 

[The Challinor]

I thought they are chrome, I know the R8 rims your on about but these look different.

[The Challinor]

Thanks mate, in pretty sure it's in the UK now so hoping to have it next week at the latest really.

The BW 37,38,39,40 is getting a right hammering from me and other members at the moment!

I think they only do that for car shows. Think it's to bling the car up. Personally I'd prefer them to put the proper wheels on. Chrome is for Americans who get excited at shiney things

 

[The Challinor]

Maybe I'm a little bit American then

I think the guy holding the brush and his head in the 1st pictures has the same problem lol.

Unless he's just scratched the nearside of the S3 with his brush after the utter astonishment at those wheels lol
