The Definitive Alloy Wheel Picture thread (Alloys)

[A2Z]

I am currently trying to go through the build sheet for the vehicle and find what it should have.
Anyone know wheel codes?

If you scroll up the page a little to post #385 you will find every factory available alloy for the A2 including the factory tyre sizes

Perfect... the ones currently fitted not there... need to find replacements.

Post a photo and we'll tell you what they are.

Your current tyres (although oversized) work well on the A2 on the right wheels

 

[donp38]

Will do.
Sort it in the morning.
Many thanks.

Yes they are 16" X 7j mk1 TT alloys.

They suit the A2 really well as they have a slighter lower offset of et31 which makes them sit out 7mm further than the factory 17" Sport wheels that you're looking for and fill the arches well.

They also ride far more comfortably with the tyre size you have (205/50/16) which is the perfect size for the A2 btw (standard size for the TT is 205/55/16 which don't fit on the A2 correctly as they can rub) and they are much stronger wheels too

This is great. Many thanks indeed.
So it looks as though it maybe best to these on and simply put some fresh tyres on.
?
It will be pounding up and down country lanes so stronger wheels is a good idea also?

Thoughts?

Absolutely.

If you're driving on rough roads then the more tyre sidewall the better.

The only other option would be to fit 15" wheels with either standard 175/60/15, 185/60/15 or even 175/65/15 tyres for the most comfortable ride possible and the bonus of an accurately reading speedometer too

can anyone identify these alloys?

I think those might be Autec Wizards in 17 inch.

That’s my ex-project ‘pine green’, that's now in safe hands with @George Hogg

A8 winter wheels, need adaptors though, maybe not for everyone but I love them

Hello all,

Following the same theme as George above…

Audi A8 D2 Winter Wheels with 20mm 5x100 to 5x112 hub adapters:

They look great and only weigh 6121g which is just over 400g more that Pepperpots, a very small sacrifice to gain extra width for grip.
Kind regards,

Tom

7,5x17" from A8 D2. They have quite small ET for combination with adaptors I had them on VW Sharan few years back. But I don't know, 17" look too big to me on A2...
