Has anybody found a set of winter wheels/tyres for the RS3? My local dealer says Audi are not as yet selling these (may do so later this year apparently but no guarantees) but I, for one, would be very interested in a set for use over the November-March period and wonder if anybody can recommend a 3rd party option. I assume they'd have to be on an 18in wheel given the size of the brake disks but am happy to be corrected on this?

Dear Alaric,

MTM could be a option:

If you would like to keep the OE look: Factory spec

Wheel: Part No. 8P0601025CP 8J x 19H2 ET50 (available through your local dealer)

Tire: Dunlop 225/40 R18 92V SP Winter Sport 4D XL MFS (available through your local dealer and/or Internet f.e.)

I'm not really sure that would work well :))

Thanks very much for the info Qisha. My dealer did say that he could sell me suitable individual wheels, perhaps along the very lines you have suggested, but warned that the cost would be the best part of £1000 per corner, which is just a bit steep. I was hoping for a price closer to £1000 for a set of 4 which I believe (but correct me if I'm wrong) is around what an S3 driver would pay
