R8 alloys on a3

[kettle]

just put this together quickly to see what they may look like
sizing is not very good but was only a quick jobby:icon_thumright:

opinions???
apart from lowering!

 

[Sam-K]

I think they look nice, but a little too big and 'fiddly' ..

wider spokes look better on a3's i think! =]

 

[Amchlolor]

They look alright, in a 'bling' stylee.
But they're gonna look really daft with weedy little discs behind them.
I note the photoshop you've done has HUGE discs!

 

[kettle]

sorry guys like i said only a quick jobby

i just nicked the alloys straight from an r8 which is why it has huge discs!!!

and yes they do look rather big the replicas i have seen are usually 18's

i do like the alloys but not sure if they suit!

 

[kettle]

they do look nice though

They're not cuttin it.

 

[kettle]

is it time to give up on these then

 

[N8]

Your money, your choice. YES GIVE UP!!! :icon_thumright:

 

[Boydie]

Dont like the style of rim on the A3 at all - A3's suit chunky, non chrome rims

 

[Stitch_626]

Not a Fan t.b.h.... See too much wheel arch....

 

[N8]

lol - it was a photoshop marcy But you're right I hate cars that put rims on then leave then looking like they are driving round on stilts!!

 

[kettle]

stilts i think the term 4x4 is more suiting and yes it was only a two minute photoshop

they are diamond cut not chrome but i think i am being put of these more every time i look at them!!!!

now i have to think what else to get? hmmm

www.ebay.co.uk - 19s get some inspiration, where do u live kettle?

 

[kettle]

im in twickenham home of england rugby

not sure about 19's most people seem to say the ride is harsh!

 

[N8]

No it aint. My friend had A4 with 20" 245/30/20s with Tein coilovers it was the smoothest ride I've ever been in

 

[kettle]

ok haven felt the ride myself so i will take your word:icon_thumright:
haven thought about lowering it yet! which is another issue with larger wheels

bit undecided at the mo about wheels sizes and lowering!

 

[N8]

Its all depending on what you want kettle and how much you can afford! My philosophy is do it properly, or don't do it at all...

 

[TDI-line]

Personally doesn't look right to me.

 

[Amchlolor]

No it aint. My friend had A4 with 20" 245/30/20s with Tein coilovers it was the smoothest ride I've ever been in

But that's not a level playing field, as he's changed the springs.
On standard springs, 20" wheels will give a harsher ride.

 

[N8]

Yeah good point. Hence why to avoid springs, and get coilovers, buy once not twice, if you're gonna do something, do it properly, believe me I've learnt the hard way.
