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.

How does this look? Lava Grey with titanium wheels.
