Hopsta Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Personally speaking I think they are the only non Audi wheel which actually suit the S3. Seen a few aftermarket ones and IMO they just dont carry them off well at all.

The porka wheels are a very good alternative which suit the S3 very well without looking tacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbpm Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I ordered a set of 18" Cup 3's from Skidz in Falkirk last month(good guys - check them out), quoted 4-5 week wait. The 5 weeks are up, and Skidz say Mille Miglia are now quoting 9 months !! These wheels are only produced when there are enough orders in for a batch to be made, i was told. So Skidz have cancelled the order, as they reckon that we'll never see the wheels. Seen a TT with cups on at Knockhill, they were made by "RH", so will be looking for RH wheels now ! Skidz are doing the RS4 and RS6 replicas for a good price, but i'm holding out for a set of cups. Have mailed essentialstyling.com (porsche website) as they have wheels on the site, will see what their reply is. Might get my cups one day !

I guess it's all down to personal taste really... I my opinion I don't think the Porsche alloys look that good on any car. Just not my taste...

Simonl Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 The bottom ones look the best, by far!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougy Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Well emailed them they said they would so fingers crossed or there will be a nice set of sportec for sale soon. got me worried now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 hello Dougy at first i was happy that my link helped you. but im afraid the sportecs on Ebay wont fit an S3. S3 PCD (bolt hole pattern) is 5 x 100 A4 A6 RS4 S4 A8 for which the Wheels are listed are 5 x 112 sorry to be bearer of bad news. I hope the ebayer is simpathetic, and realises a genuine mistake.
