Can anyone photoshop the SB wheels onto the Saloon? If I can't order them with the car, I might have to buy some additional wheels instead. Or just get a SB
Anyone good at Photoshop?

I do think the rotors are starting to look a bit dated. But I haven't really seen a design that I think would go better on my RS3. Possibly Tom Wrigley's choice, but then they are from a McLaren and therefore I assume ridiculously expensive!
Thanks Andy,
Yeah it looks way better now. Agree with DOC, the rotors are getting old now, and are on everything, but they still look really nice wheels.

I really do not like the standard rotors, but the more angular design on the RS3 I can be happy with!
But I had hoped for some wheel options :/
Problem with rotors is that while they are a beautiful wheel (IMO), Audi have overused them and they are on every second S line car here in Australia. They are so common that they look out of place on an RS model these days.
I also think they look better on a SB instead of the sedan.

I agree that the rotors are dated, I think the sedan wheels have been designed to go with the body shape. There has been many wheel designs that raise eyebrows but after a while and seeing them in the flesh im pretty sure we will learn to love the design of the sedan blade wheels... I hope so lol (Going for the gloss black option)
Looking at those photos I was shocked to see how much bigger the wheelbase is on the SB. I'd assumed they'd be the same
The Saloon was based on the Sportback chassis, so are the same. But the Saloon has a lower centre of gravity, and better weight distribution.
Here's one image overlaid on the other. Unless the SB photo is at a slightly different scale, but it doesn't seem to be
The Sportback is shorter than the Sedan....4479mm vs 4335mm. Length between the wheels is identical.
Yeah, according to the brochure the wheelbase is identical. The FB image must be ever so slightly larger or something. Okay, forget that then, nothing to see here!
edit: if I shrink the FB image by a mere 2%, they line up perfectly, then showing that the saloon is the slightly longer car

Wondering (sorry to ask again you photoshop guru's) anyone able to show me a nardo grey saloon with the standard wheels in black?
