The time has come! My wheels are looking very shoddy and probably past refurbishment so I'm considering buying new ones. Does anyone know what size the standard wheels are on an S3? Anyone any thoughts on where to get wheels from?

Thanks for your help.

New slots turn up occasionally - but I don't think the 8 spokes are available.
I've got a new set of slots to go on my car - so my 8 spokes are open to offers.
They are not perfect but they are very good.
They have been refurbed in the past so are silver all over.
Front tyres are pretty good but rears need replacing.

I've got some hi res close up pics of them at home if you're interested.

Hi, if yours are 8 spokes i'd be interested whatever the condition, need some wheels just to run around on while re-furbing mine

Do you still have the wheels for sale? I am after a couple if you would consider splitting them. Or maybe could consider the full set.

Much better.
I keep toying with the idea of putting in bigger wheels - 17" or so. I often feel the wheels look too small for the wheel arches. I dont want to chav the car either though.
