Hi all,
A friend of mine is just about the purchase a 2010 S3. The wheels that come standard on this car are not the prettiest but please please make him see sense as he is thinking of fitting these........ :scared:

This is the car standard

Feel free to comment :popcornsoda:
Sorry mods this is probably better in random chat.
-
They are pretty horrendous! Pro Race 1.2 or 1.3 if he's going TD.
-
they are preti :sick: i can imagine these will totally change the apperance of the car, and not in a good way.
we need pics of the car to really have an understanding on how it will turn out
but thats just my 2p :smiley:
-
Wow chav wheel :signLOL:
-
First post updated with the look of the standard wheels. If anyone has Photochop feel free to put those pig ugly wheels onto the car :grin:
Wow chav wheel :signLOL:
Thats what I said! They're for a Corsa not an S3!!
-
Its his money. But :sick: IMO
-
Make sure your friend sees this thread :signLOL:

Oh don't worry, he's got the link! I'm sure he'll be on shortly :signLOL:
-
no. thats all i have to say
-
absolutely not
-
Do not let him do it Lee :scared:
Those wheels are dreadful! :confused:
-
You has a friend should take your fist and stick it in his mouth :signLOL:
Darren
-
Does this friend wear sunglasses all the time and have a dog?
-
Lee, can you perhaps block his credit & debit cards for a little while? :grin:
As the perception has shown already, they are certainly not wheels that will ever look good on an S3 in any capacity.
I'm all for different, but he's not showing any inspiration there :scared:
-
Easy answer...... tell him it'll make his car worth a lot less money with them on :stupid:
-
Chavtastic :stupid:
-
Seriously you need to bang his head against a brick wall :stupid:
If he does buy him some chrome windscreen wipers and numberplate surround and while your at it stick some chavtastic stickers up the side of his doors :evilgrin:
Pro race 1.2s on the other hand :love:

And some blue led washer jets

Thanks for all the replies guys :grin: and he told me I had no taste!

I told him that the car would go from being worth 21 grand to £2.10! :signLOL:
-
Just show him Gary's S3. (gazbut) :star:
19" BBS.....end of story :notworthy:
-
JJEEEEEESSSSUUUUUUUUSSSSSS!!!!!! :signLOL:
I only asked Lee for his opinion on the alloys!!! Talk about getting raped and pillaged!!!! :signLOL:
I don't have a dog but I do wear sunglasses. :booty:
OK, well those alloys are now out the question regardless of all the opinions as they're polished, and I'm not into the whiteworm palava.
Pro Race 1.2's look nice, but not sure if I want black alloys with a black car.
The search continues :party:
-
:signLOL:
-
I personally think the 1.3 TD's would really suit the S3. They have sharper edges than the 1.2's which match the more angular lines of the S3.
BBS CK
BBS CH
Turini's
TD 1.3
TD 1.2
All look great on the S3 :wink:
-
It's Jussa, Get Hiiiiiiiiiiiiim!
:signLOL:
-
NNNooooooooo I've been barstewardsised enough already!!! :signLOL:
I think the Turini's are a pig to keep clean.
I do like the TD 1.3 and 1.2 though. BBS are OK but not my favourite.
Any other mad or outlandish suggestions??? :pomppomp:
-
:congrats:
Here's a mad/ outlandish suggestion, screw four plastic dustbin lids to the hubs!
They'll look better than those alloys you liked!!! :signLOL:
-
I nearly bought some image split wheels for the Leon but chose the CHs (which I miss). The black 3 piece image rims where tasty though.
-
These;

Forged so fairly light. Nice dish on the rear. Don't have to be black
-
The sick smiley doesn't do them justice........
-
The TD 1.2 come in silver, black or white so you dont have to have black and there's always a colour change option with a refurb :happy2:
Also what about another Audi wheel design, the newer RS3 wheels look nice, I also saw a set of RS6 style wheel on a TTS and they look well nice,
Darren
-
What about these OZ racing ones?

Don't shoot me down in flames....just looking for something different
:popcornsoda:
-
The sick smiley doesn't do them justice........
Kind of wish I hadnt gone as 'mainstream' and got the Image instead of the CHs, although they looked ace on.
Don't see me having the spare £ to spend 2k on wheels again any time soon though
-
It also might be worth considering just not being his friend anymore and letting him get on with it :laugh:
-
Theses are a different.

Never seen these before! :drool:
-
It's quite funny / alarming how something of personal preference can be so taboo lol
The PR1.2 is a very good value strong performance
I'd love to try the O.Z ulta leggera HLT :party:
-

Would like to know the weight @ 18" looks like CK :party:
-
Mmmm, Those Borbets look quite nice :drool: But the compomotives look too much like the BBS's.
What is the PR1.2???
I think the O.Z ulta leggera HLT could be an option :party:

PR1.2 = Team dynamics pro race 1.2 :happy2:
-
If your after the motorsport look and want something different to the TD 1.2/3 then the OZ HLT get my vote :happy2: only in the orange though :signLOL:
Darren I said about the new S3 rotor style wheels but Justin wants to avoid anything polished due to whiteworm.
-
Well finally he has seen the light and bought a set of the new S3/RS3 rotor style wheels :drool:
:congrats:
-
Our work is done here :signLOL:
-
Good old fashioned peer pressure :congrats:
-
:happy2: Well done guys, and thanks to Lee for finding them for me :notworthy:
