A3 Picture Thread!!

[asal]

which VMRs are those? looking at your wheel page doesn't show a 5 spoke... http://www.velocitymotoring.com/wheels.html Also, you should offer the v713s in 18"!

[VMRWheels]

Those are a brand new model! V705s, we just released them about two weeks ago or so.

[Lunchsacks]

Forgestar cf5*


Knock offs

[tpliquid]

705 gona come in 18???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????

[Lunchsacks]

Forgestar offers them in 18 and they only weigh 18lbs and are forged.

Unlike the above cast. 30lbs. Replicas. Close to same cost

[miggity02]

more pics on a3s? and how much do they weigh? looks pretty nice.

[SScott]

I figured I'd add mine too, 2007 S-Line DSG 3.2 quattro with 18x8 R8 replica wheels

[Lunchsacks]

Smh

[tpliquid]

[SScott]

Problem with a oem looking wheel?

Smh

[miggity02]

so whats the price?

I think they're $899 or $999 for 19x8.5. I think Forgstars are around $1350-up.

ya if it's $1k for the VMRs i see the point of getting the forgestars. however if i'm looking at 18s (which i am), and they're $699 or $799 to the forgestar's $1200-1300, then I have a harder choice!

[tpliquid]

i agree. plus if they bend just buy another one! cheaper

I'm waiting for 18s too. 18x8.5 would be ideal. The 19s are 25.5 lbs.

Right now we're only making them in 19" sizing.

Yup!







He's running a 19x8.5 ET35/19x9.5 ET45 fitment with hub rings from 66.6mm to 57.1mm. The 19x8.5s weigh about 25.5 pounds per wheel.

vmr u need edit ur post on 1st centence to 19 instead of 18.

when 18 come? et 18x8.5 et 43f and et 38r would be perfect for me.

[VMRWheels]

Good catch! Thanks for the heads up.

18s may be coming in the future but I would not expect them to be here for a while considering we just brought a container of these in in 19" sizing.

[Lunchsacks]

Hub rings. Lol reps are lol

[tpliquid]

Hub rings. Lol reps are lol

Where Can i get those lugs?

[VMRWheels]

Where Can i get those lugs?

A stud conversion with any extended tuner style lug nut should look similar to that.

I've always liked her car

[Gryphon001]

LOVE the wheels & the car ^^^ but a bit too much poke for my tastes.

Now for some of my own whoring...























Just a few from this month... it being spring and all that.

[jumalian]

topaz much? ;)

[Gryphon001]

Not at all.... lol

[dubguts]

It’s not easy to justify the Audi A3 high prices when a Golf with the same engine costs a lot less, but few rivals can match the A3 for cabin quality, desirability and resale values. It's a fine all-rounder.

Totally random, but I agree

An automobile is more than it's engine.

Well if you price a 4 Door GTI with decent options it is pushing 28k. If you price a similarly equipped A3 it is 31.5k. 3.5k to have an Audi rather than a VW, and the Audi's are usually better equipped, have a better resale value, etc. Its not that much difference really.

[Gryphon001]

Than you have to add about 5k to match the same options as the GTI... lol

I like the MK6 GTI, but would still go for the A3 again... Except we may not see a Sportback. :(

Awesome ride, what did you do to prevent it from rubbing issues?

[A-Steeze]

How mine currently sits, not many people play with A3's up in Vancity...at least from what I've seen lol


Before i grabbed LMs :]

Cheers!

One for the road

[ocswing]

Quick pic since I just put on new wheels. Really happy with them!

[miggity02]

[ReadyKilowatt]

Nice, are those stock wheels? Haven't seen them before. And lucky you still have snow, had almost no winter in Southern California this year.

Yep, they're stock. I didn't see them in the brochure either. When we were ordering the salesman flipped his laptop around and showed me about 8 different 17" and 18" wheels that I could pick from, only 2 or so I recognized. I ended up with 17s, but I was a little surprised I could order 18"s without getting the platinum suspension too.

I hear you about the snow. It's been terrible all year here too. The Colorado River snowpack is only at about 50-70% of average. You better get ready for some empty swimming pools down your way this summer.
