Default opinions on these wheels?

These remind me a little of the RS4 wheels but with a deep lip - which is so much sexier. I wonder how they would look on an A3 though ... any thoughts?

Is there the remotest chance of getting these in 5 x 112, with an Audi compatible offset?

I second that!!!

Would 2 white A3's from OK be allowed to sport the same wheels?

Sure, butI wouldn't be buying those (though they aren't bad at all- just not my style) . I'm currently running these;

I've got my grille + surround, fog grills, mirrors, and side markers matched with them. Here's a couple of pics;

boywonder- Normally I am not a big fan of black rims, but I think those wouldwould look sweet on your car!

hesaputz- Nice pics! I am a firm believer that the details really make a car, and having the various pieces (grill-surround in particular) color-matched to the wheels looks very nice.

Thanks, guys; Note that the front rings and center caps no longer have chrome, but are done in a semi flat silver to complement the semi-flat titanium. Center caps are modified A3. Next- the roof rails.

Boywonder, you might look at Privat - they make a wheel called Reserv that's very similar to those Tenzos, but with a rough aluminum center. Beautiful. They're available in 5x112, but I seem to remember the offset is kinda tight - 42 or so.

Hesaputz - you know I dig your wheels because of the light weight tech. And now they are $50 less! I will buy a set as soon as my tires wear out.

From our discussion on VWvortex, I'm still debating 225/45-17 vs. 235/45-17 on these wheels. Any more insight as to the performance difference?
