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:

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:
gaz they seem spot on mate , if your after some the guy only has 2 sets left pm me if you want details

I'll wait till you get your CK's and have yours  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

its red mate , not my first choice of colour but have since found out its quite rare  :happy2: , it has every option audi offer inc recaros (in great condition ) was the extra s that swayed me tbh  :wink:

Do you know what weight your new wheels are?

Those are my favourite BBS wheel I think.

....Fair enough - Nothing wrong in changing your shoes your wheels for only cosmetic reasons. I have just recently become curious in knowing what weights various wheels are.
