Hello,
I wanted to ask the experts here regarding a grey 2002 TT (red baseball-stitching interior - in mint condition):

- What 18 inch Audi wheels will fit? Currently the car sits on stock 17s but OEM 18s would make the car look much better and sportier. I like the 18 inch B5 S4 wheels (9 spoke) CLICK HERE (http://www.mpresiv.net/auto/S4_26July2008_08.jpg). OR HERE (http://images1.fotki.com/v6/photos/2/229737/3656747/DSC02435-vi.jpg) Would anything special need to be done to fit these to the TT? What is the best place to buy? What other options do you suggest for a subtle, clean, OEM upgrade?

- What tire size would you recommend to go with these 18 inch wheels? The goal here is to be as close to stock as possible, so the speedo shows correct speed.

- Can brushed aluminum mirror covers be purchased for this model and if so where do we find them?

- Are there RS-style grilles available for this model?

- What other refreshes would you recommend for the car?

Thank you very much in advance.

Look for 18x7.5 5x100 bolt pattern and around 32mm offset. If you use 225/40R18 sized tires you should be find with your Speedo.

You can find RS grills on Ebay.

good luck

How many miles?
Depending on mileage id consider refreshing suspension rubber components or engine hoses that have deteriorated with time
