18-inch rims?

Post by nicholas » Mon Jun 18, 2012 1:44 am

any ideas for an 18inch rim? Just for winter.
Some Audis or an aftermarket ones?

I thought about the RS6 wheel:

RS6 is 20 and way way too wide. For 18s probably have to be aftermarket. MTM might have some.

In S3 there is an option of this rim in silver and it's 18-inch.
Looks like the one in RS6.
Anyone knows if S3 wheel fits RS3?

Different offset I expect, you'd need to check with your dealer.

Yep

Et 32 I think, 40mm wider track

Will an 18in wheel fit over the front brake callipers?

I think MTM offer 18s with winter tyres, so I assume yes

TT RS has a standard 18inch wheel so no problem :)
