s3 alloys on an A3??

[A3rutheboy]

hi guys, I want to get some 17'' S3 alloys for my 2001 A3. you know the kind... 6 spoke with like little 'diverts' out of the top of the spokes where it hits the rim, (im led to believe there standered on S3's??)

Anyway i want to fit them on my A3 but are not aure if they will fit. how do i find out offset, rim width etc on both my car and these alloys, unless anyone can tell me that they defenatley do fit.

Also is anyone local to leeds actually selling a set? (never ask you wont get haha) :biglaugh:

cheers guys. Danny

they are called "AVUS" afaik
they were standard on the S3 and S4

yes they will fit,

happy hunting - they rare as rocking horse ****!!!!!!!!!

was looking for a set for my A4, but not great luck.
got outbid on a set at xmas at £225, but they needed 2 tyres.

i overspent over xmas, so goodjob i didnt win them !!!!!!!!!

i wish u had posted this before i sold mine, i had 4 with pirelli beauts, i let them go for 200, im upset now!
i upgraded to 18" rs4s for my s3 n they only cost 550 with tyres upgraded to falcons, i recommened u bite the bullet n spend, the difference is massive and it still feels amazin, i now have 225/40/18 n the ride is far from bumpy..
i saw some on e bay a while ago that were pristine for 400, pick up only.
let me kno wat u choose mate:biglaugh:

both are 7.5j x 17

S3 et32

They are a great look on the audi.

I have Avus on mine and had been outbid on 3 before.

so for the fourth seperate bid I needed to up the game.

I eventually won and paid £300 for them... they have brand new Pirelli P6000 on the first two and Goodyear F1 on the other two...

saved a packet bidding for these :)

hi mate, i got the s3 alloys on my a3 so ye it should fit.

[Rikster23]

Sweet. I like the way you slammed it.

Theres far too many humps in London that does not allow me to slam it low :(

PCD on post facelift S3's is 5x112. ;)
