Default Audi brand rims for A3

Yea, I know there are plenty of aftermarket rims out there. That discussion aside, what Audi rims fit the A3? On Audi's site they only list an 18" Calera rim. What about A4 or A6 rims?

My understanding is the 18" 14-spoke wheel PQS was discontinued and the new wheel is an 18" 5-spoke Quattro GmbH model CU7 has taken its place. This might just be for the 3.2 S Line vehicle, so I would have to check to be sure.

Ok, maybe the quick way to get an answer here is to ask this: what are the spec of a rim that will fit an A3? How many inches wide for an 18" rim? What's the bolt pattern? What offsets matter?

B5 S4 17". Same as the S3 8L. Forgot the exact off set, but I'm guessing 43.



06 3.2 S-line 2-piece 18". Same as the06 C6 S6 I believe.

In 07, they took out the Excalibur Wheels as stock 17" and replaced it with



And these are the upgraded 18" for 07:



edited: Can't get it the link to work from Audi site... But the 18s are like the old RS4 5 spokes. ANd the 17" is like a thin version of that.

I would suggest you to check out Hartmann. Great OEM quality replica and much cheaper than buying from dealers:

Very popular these days RS4.



RS6 Replica

Basically the RS4 with gun metal finish. They are nice though.

So with these Hartmanns... I can stick an Audi center cap straight on there?

EDIT: Nevermind... I see in the description it says exactly that. Thanks!

Yeah, the titaniums would look very nice with the Lava Grey.
