No, Mike. eBay specials - took a punt on them when I had the GTI and was amazed at the quality of them. Great fitment.
Whole housings rather than covers too.

Got H&R springs fitted today. Looks better and should settle some more yet.
Just one pic for now.

Cheers Pete. They're actually OEM Audi wheels tho. Planning on getting them anthracite to break up the silver a little.

Yeah same design as the Pescaras/CH/VZ etc, know what I mean  :happy2:

That would look great - silver lip perhaps? I think Monte had a similar design on his silver ED30 and it looked superb IMO.

I prob won't run a lip as I find it makes the wheels look smaller. Thought so with the CH reps I ran on the K1 anyhoo.
19s pull off a lip much better but I think 18s are better suited to the A3 (or any of the mk5 platform)

Probably true although you're low enough to get away with it. On standard springs, it's certainly a sin.

ok so today I took my wheels to The Wheel Specialist for a refurb and colour change.
Went for the same day service. Drop car off - they remove tyres, acid dip, coat, bake, clear coat, bake, tyres back on and balanced! (probably more to it aswell) Anyway, I   decided to go Anthracite - glad I did, think it ties in the mirrirs and black grille.
usual iPhone snaps. No editing though.





oh, the smoked side repeaters are new too.
Really chuffed with the wheels, really make a big difference to the style of the car.
Will chuck up some close up shots when I get them washed and sealed.
let me know what you think
