bpsmith Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I am hoping to fit bigger alloys to my A3 1.8T sometime shortly, if the price is right. I want to go to 17" or 18", probably of the TT variety? Is there anyone on this forum who has done this or knows about this and can tell me if the fitment is right and/or has pictures of such A3's with TT alloys on them? I have not seen this done and so am interested to see which of the TT aloys look best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I replaced my 17'' wheels with some 18'' RSTT wheels, straight swop. Our cars are relatively the same, the 18'' RSTT's look the best, you can pick up some replicas for some silly money. Have a look through the classifieds. Good luck. Check out mine in the gallery !

bpsmith Posted August 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I am new to this forum tonight. How do I get to the classifieds and where is the gallery to view your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 First off, Welcome to Tyresmoke. The classified section can be reached through the menus at the top of the screen above the advertising banners or clicking here I got my replica RSTT wheels from amdtechnik based in Bicester, they were £112+vat each for the wheels and you can get tyres for around 100-150 depending on your stockist. Try Blackcircles (click on Tyre Finder) you'll get a 10% discount just for being a ts.net member. Hope that helps Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagoo Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 If you want to go the RSTT rims then let me know as we (tyresmoke) can put a deal together for you with the companies that we deal with (around the £1000 mark for both the rims and rubber).

bpsmith Posted August 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Thanks for the offer and I may well take you up on this at some point in the future. In the current situation, I am just looking to see what I can get 2nd hand on ebay etc, as would get some if they are in good condition and cost me less than £300 all in? A lot to ask, I know, but there are some on there that I am monitoring the prices on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippe Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 HI BPsmith Welcom TS.net Here is my car: First pic is with 17" 6-arm TT rims Second pic is with 19" EVO gt-line's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3Floyd Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 those evo's look great. but if you're looking for a cheaper option, the TT alloys look really good too and like you say, they can be picked up very cheap on ebay. I saw a set of S3 alloys on ebay yesterday but they were a lot more expensive than the tt rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Gotta say that Philippe's 19's look very nice "in the flesh" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3Floyd Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 i wonder what an S3 would look like with a set of 15's on... i wonder if anyone has been bonkers enough to try. i might photoshop some in for a laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Cheers for the pics Phillipe! The both sets of wheels look good on your A3! I am getting married in December so the cash is tight at the moment so not going to change my wheels until around February at least. Unless a set of TT rims come up for a wicked price that is!?! I still like the 16" T Sport wheels that ar on it at present anyway, so not to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
