A while ago I posted some pics of my Octy with the new window tints. I got some nice comments about the look of the car then and I wanted to post a couple of photo's of the car today in roughly the same position to see if anyone can spot the difference, now that I've finally got 'something' just the way I want it

You got it - I finally found a set of the same style wheels with a better offset for a wider stanceOriginally Posted by cbay

The blokes at the tyre shop thought I was mad - come in with a set of wheels in the boot the same as the ones on the car, and ask them to swap the tyres over. They have a point I reckon, but for me, I'm finally happy with the stance

SWEET stoked i got that... i could tell something was up with the rears in particular
looks like my hours of wheel fantasizing has paid off!
just curious though, were they still oem wheels with a different offset? (I'm assuming those wheels that may have come off from the A3's and the A4's are different)

Yeah, these are OEM but they are S-line rims as opposed to the normal ones. Close up they are quite different, but from far away they are identical.
I think they are even made in a different country! These are ET45, the old rims are ET56.

I'm surprised the grass looks even close to similar given the changei n the seasons between the before and after pics
Thanks - I keep looking at the car today and appreciating that extra 11mm... in the flesh it makes all the difference.

What width / diameter? I had 17x8ET35 on mine for a year & the poke at the front really annoyed me. Rear was perfect.
