Audi A1 alloys..

I also am running these and a massive improvement in ride and big reduction in darty tracking on poor roads over the standard FSI 17" and wider low profile tyres (which did rub).

Shod with 215/45 Falken Eurowinter HS449. Perfect fit / no rubbing no messing.

Ebay BIN was £250. Fresh refurb in Titanium with very very nearly new tyres - no centres. In the end bought new spider centres as 2nd hand eBay ones were poor condition and expensive for what they were, or not complete sets

Spider part number is 8X0601165. Cost (genuine Audi) was £147.54 from LLL Parts on eBay. Most eBay cheap spiders are for A3, A4 so wrong size for the A1 wheels. I couldn't find any aftermarket versions of the 8X part number

£400 all in for a set of effectively new wheels and tyres I thought was pretty good and much improvement / no real detriment to sportiness every day

I've bought a set for mine too, then actually also wanted a spare and found a cheap pair in really good condition, so have 6 now lol. My daughter has been "borrowing" 4 of them for the last 12 months to use up the original tyres (215s) on her VW Polo 6r.
I'm going to fit Michelin Cross Climate (205/45r16) tyres on them when I get them back. I managed to pickup 2 nearly new ones so far (> 6mm tread) and am on the lookout for another pair.
So far for the 6 wheels (4 with almost new wronge size tyres - which worked out really well for the Polo) and 2 almost new C C 2 tyres its cost me < £300 .
A lot of A1 owners dont seem to like these wheels and change them which is good as I really like the look of these on the A2 pictures I've seen

I like the idea of the cross climate

The 17” sport wheels, summer tyres and width I felt too much for such a light car and especially in the rain

Happy running on winters with all this rain, but once worn I will also be looking at all seasons

I like those wheels, of the non-A2 styles I think those and the Mk1 TT 16" Ronals are definitely the best suited to the A2. My own preference though is the A2 16" five-spoke SE option wheels, if you can find a set.

Are you talking about the more rounded ones? I think that’s the best way I can describe them! If it’s those they are great wheels, they’d be right up there on my list also, having had the tt ronals, they would be a lovely change!

We might be talking about the same ones, but the easiest way is to show you what I mean :)
