19's, 5 arm or V Spoke 20's ?
Re: 19's, 5 arm or V Spoke 20's ?
Maybe. Can't say I've seen an A3 (or A1) with them yet. V spokes are pretty easy to clean too.
Re: 19's, 5 arm or V Spoke 20's ?
When I was ordering my car I did find it really hard to choose the wheels as I was torn between V Spokes and Rotors. Ultimately they are both cracking wheels on a F'ing gorgeous motor car. Either way you arent going to be gutted....

Love it P1 Dave. I thought I was the only one stupid enough to take wheels off (on occasion) to clean them 
V Spoke or 5 Arm Rotor no problem, you've got to get 'her in doors' to purchase for Chrimbo - a 'Vikan Long Reach Flexible Wheel Brush' from Monza Carcare. There half price just now 14.99.

Going to look into carbon 'dipping' my 5 arms at http://www.garnishdip.co.uk/Index.aspx
They powder coated my 5 arms; because I have a couple of spare rotors I'll give 'em one and see how it turns out.

My A5 sline is currently sitting on the 5 arm segment wheels from the C6 RS6. Great wheel, but sometimes nice to keep the good ones special!

420mm RS6 ceramics are definitely 20s only.RivBlueB8 wrote:Was offered a set of 19" with winter tyres recently. Didn't go for them (the car never goes out in winter - garage queenandre3000 wrote:If it's your car & you're thinking if changing firstly I'm not sure you can get the 19s over the ceramics?) But TBH I didn't realise the Ceramic rotors would be an issue if I had. Thanks.
However on the RS4, 19s go over 380mm ceramics easily, they are the same as those on the B7 RS4 which of course only came on 19s. They actually fit under a couple of aftermarket 18s such as Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2.
