As nice as the thought of Advan RS's is, £3k plus delivery all the way from Japan because they have to be custom made for 5x112 and 57.1mm centre bore means that idea will be going on hold for some considerable time! Thanks for the info. Glenn.

IMO I don 't really dig those sportecs...those advans look the real business... I think some real concave wheels like they put on the bigger rs's are the way to go...

There isn't enough clearance atthe back though so you won't get anything under the arches less than ET40 on an 8J or 8.5J wheel. ET40-50 is ideal

Ive got a set of replica alloys and winter tyres for the, erm, winter.

 

They are ET45 235/35/19 all round. The rears catch a little over bumps...

Bought myself an additional set of wheels for race days. These are 19" x 8.5J ET47 OZ Formula HLT wheels.

Lovely...!
How much space do you have between outside of the tyre and the arch as tempted to order et38 pushing wheels out a further 9mm.
Thanks in advance

Any improvement in grip on the wider rim? And is that just at the front?

I'm running them all round, tiny bit of rubbing on uneven roads when pushing really hard. Other than that stance and grip improved nicely

I love the current RS3 wheels but what i dont love is that everyone who's put any spec on any model A3 also has them.

 

These are what tickle my fancy right now

They are nice but not the cheapest to get some in the UK.
