8 x 18 et 45 could nt afford the 19 inch ck s i really wanted so these will do for now , et45 should make them stick out more than oem which the s3 needs  :happy2:

Why didn't you go for the VZ's? OE wheel and not much more money?

and the fact they are 1/2 inch wider, by my reckoning they will stick out 17mm more than the std(which are ET56 IIRC), which is desperately needed especially at the back :happy2:
