So I just ordered !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for my S3. The company called back and said that the wheels are only available in silver with a 35mm offset (45 is stock). They have a black set that is 45mm.
I would really prefer the silver, and the guy says that they will not rub and sit perfectly flush with the fender. However I’m concerned about the change in geometry. If you can’t already tell I’m pretty conservative when it comes to modding.
Any advice/experience is much appreciated.
Have a Tramontana for your time.

how big are your tires?
You probably won’t have issues. I’d check an audi forum as well as any Audi fans here tho

Didn't find anything solid on the forums. Tires are 225/40/18. I'm not worried about the change in geometry and the effect that it may or may not have on handling, wear on wheel bearings etc.

And by that I meant I am worried about the change in handling haha

Im no expert, but I can’t imagine A 2cm wider track making much of a difference. Many cars increase more than that between trim levels within a model range.

It’ll probably just be a difference of nothing

What's wrong with black wheels? I think they'd look great on the S3.

Yea that is honestly the way I’m leaning at this point. I can’t get a straight answer on weather or not the change in offset will change how it drives/how stuff wears (wheel bearings etc). So while I like the silver better and the idea of a slightly more flush look. I will probably go with the black wheels.
