Default a3 titanium wheels

I think I may get some from the dealership, anyone know what sizes they come in? Im guessing they dont come in 19's. I wanna also powdercoat them black. What do yall think?

Is there a pic online of the wheels you are talking about?

I love the red on your A3, but I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of the wheels on it right now. (Mine are worse...my stock Audi rims look a lot like a German military cross!)

I've heard mixed opinions on the powder coating, though personally I have no experience with it at all.

I have the titanium package and they are 18s. But I got them all scratched up cus i fell asleep on the freeway and hit the divider. i'm planning to have them re-polished and paint them in a different color. i was thinking about the color that comes with S3 wheels. i thought that might look pretty damn good on my white S-line. wut do u guys think?

here's a picture of s3 wheels: http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/06/audis307_08.jpg

and the titanium wheels that i have (this car actually look identical to my car): http://www.fourtitude.com/news/uploa...ti_package.jpg

I think it would be cheaper to get replica wheels. Especially if you plan on getting them painted.

They even make them in bronze.

TPE_A3 - I am not a fan of the stock wheels either, hence I am looking into other alternatives.

STEVEN - you gotta be careful out there!

BURNT TOAST - I have an in at the dealership and can get anything at cost! That looks like a great alternative tho should things fall through or they don't have them in 19's. Thanks for the site. I am getting the audi book soon to look through.

I may try to photo them black to see how they would look. Will post if i can.

That's what I was looking to do was get the Titanium package wheels (aka the S3, just different color) then get them powdered in Black. If you get a good photo of it show us I'm very interested. But I would only go 18's in my neck of the woods.

Those Ti rims look sick on a Lava Gray A3. Very nice combo IMO.



Cheers!

I think those rims will look awsome even better powdercoated BUT..


DO NOT GET THEM FROM THE DEALER!

lol

The guy quoted me 700-900$ on STOCK RIMS not even the titanium!!! I cant imagine how much they will charge for those.

Your better off looking for an aftermarket rim that is similar to it and powdercoating it black imo, youd save billions.
