New Wheels - Temptation

[DKWW2000]

I have seen these wheels for sale & despite wanting to keep the car original I am getting very tempted to buy a set,............15"x 8 ET20 in silver any thoughts?

Nice! I really like the mesh look.

I'm currently in the same boat, I have stock rims in immaculate condition but would really like to swap to some 15" mesh rims instead.

I think they will look great, but agree with A7RXY - keeping them clean will be a hassle.

But then when isn't keeping a car clean a P.I.T.A.?

I'm a big fan of the mesh and split rim look..... is 8" a bit wide though?

This is where my experience falls short, I want a bit of a dish but not too much, they said that 195s was the widest on 7".
I want to put 200 x 65 x 15 tyres. I thought ET 20 was not too much or have I misunderstood the numbers?
What would you suggest?

8s are too big. Certainly on the front.

I've got some wheels you can test fit if you want.

Too hard to keep clean ........

You can take Ate ceramic brakepads for example reducing brake dust. NOT worry about the dirty mesh look wheels. They look even better dirty then the clean blinky blinky OEM one
You will be able streching your edgeless fender a little bit warming up the paint. Not sure if the Quality is good cause i cannot read anything about a quality test certificate like Via or JWL or German KBA.

Thanks, how could we do this owing to the distance, do you have a picture of one fitted?

What width are the stock S3?

Thanks for all your concerns about cleaning...............I lurrrve cleaning metal

I've got a set of these in 4x114.3



15x6.5 +13
15x6.5 +6
15x7 +6
15x8 +0 but these are 4x110 centres but split rims so can change them out.

Ok, it's more than a set.
