My Audi A3

I prefer Pescara's over CH's, one of the best OEM wheels IMO.

Aren't ED30's darker than the Pescaras that came on the A3s?

I'm not sure matey? These look very much silver. The only thing that puts me off them is they are 7.5 wide. But then whats 1/2"-1" between friends.

Pretty sure the VW ones were a light anthracite and the Audi ones were Silver. Could have a refurb or could have actually been from an Audi mind you.

Bang some spacers on, jobs a good 'un.

That's true. Wallet at the ready. Just waiting for him to send me some more pictures. Should help when I sell it having OEM wheels too. Plus I can sell the badmanz.

If they're in decent condish, for £400 you'd be daft not to go for them.

Look forward to seeing them on.
 
I quite like your drug dealer wheels tbh, those Edition 38 wheels don't look so nice on the car imo.

Would you go for boring five spokes?

Not really a fan of them. That's what on there standard in 18's. They are 19's in that pic. if I kept 19's i'd go for speedlines or rotors -

I was tempted with a S3 rear diffuser on mine. They're only a 1er but then you've got to mess around painting them.

Turini's are awesome but like rocking horse shite as these have such high offsets. They need to be ET45 or higher.

I had put money down on those genuine BBS but just got let down. :(

Haha 7.5 is still quite small. Anyway, I've now found these and should be picking them up the weekend although the seller not willing to take payment or deposit is making me nervous..

How well they'll work on a dark car I don't know but still..The are genuine BBS RS2 in 8J with a fresh refurb.

Oh and last night I managed to mod my S2000 filter to my ramair pipe work.
Some from foam -

Well the BBS looked pants on it. Fitted one side and removed them as quick as they went on. Sold them and made money so amen to that. Back to the drawing board. So we're still ching sling spec.

I've also played with plastidip on the grill to go yet another step towards badman. I'm not 100% sold on it.

Oh and I've ordered some 2011 rear lights to freshen it up a little.

Really temped to sell it for a E46 M3 though although I'm supposed to be saving. :(
 
Just had a flick through your thread. Its a nice car! Looks in very good condition. [emoji106]

The wheels you have do look superb, but a little gangster as you say.
The turinis do look perfect, but probably cost a fortune!

How's the CAI working for you? Might fit one to my S3 when I get it.

I'm looking to get a black edition grill but the plastic dip seems a decent option.
The grills cost a fortune! Seen some FK replica ones for 70 odd, bet their shite thought.
How's it looking now? Dip peeling?

Any joy on the wheel front?

Cheers mate. Not bad for a non S. CAI is fine and I'm fussy. I had to take one off my TT as it was too loud but this is just fine. They make a big difference on these too as they standard setup isn't the best.
Sometimes I like my wheels, other times I don't. Just really not sure what I want on there now and toying with having these refurbed.

Some fresh snaps. Grill is holding up just fine. The FK ones can be had for as little as a tenner I think and do look good but it's front bumper off to change them!
