New Audi RSQ3 wheels

[Txmax]

Hi,

 

After a long time looking for some nice VAG 19" alloys, I finally found a good deal on a set of Audi RSQ3 wheels. Specs are 8,5 x 19 ET36 wrapped with 255/40 R19 tyres. My car was originally fitted with Pegasus Alloys, which are 8x18 ET44. I recon tyres are now too big, I'll test them some time and I will finally fit 245/40 R19 once they're over. Car feels now beautifully planted, as it is combined with a set of Bilstein B6 with OEM springs.

 

The car looks awesome now, a bit too high, but I don't want to lower it for daily use reasons. It now sits as if it had 14,4mm spacers all around.

 

Let me share with you some pics of the before vs. after.

Much prefer the original wheels.

Probably a better overall ride with them too.

Probably. But I needed a change and follow my "heart" decision for one time in my life.

You've effectively raised your gearing slightly, which may or may not give slightly better economy, with a performance trade-off.

They look alright to me, and will be easier to clean.

I'll run these tyres for some time but I'll swith to 235/40 R19 or 245/40 R19 which seems a popular choice with 19" wheels. I love how it sits now and they are much more easier to clean!

Same wheels and spec on mine. I do like them but getting itchy feet and fancy a change!

They look really good on this car IMO. What tyre size are your running?

Thanks!

 

245/40/19s, they were cheaper than the 235/45's!
