They look like A2 16" SE alloy wheels to me.
They must be the A3 version that doesn't fit the A2. Do they have an 8L0 part number?
I think you will find that the rear of wheel photo is not from those wheels and it's a mistake.
They do fit perfectly as they are a 5x100 fitment too but require spacers between 5 and 15mm to push them outwards and prevent rubbing on the wheel arch liners.They must be the A3 version that doesn't fit the A2. Do they have an 8L0 part number?
No obviously not, spacers lower the ET number (or bring the wheels further outwards) but 5 to 15mm spacers bring down the ET (or offset) of 44 on the wheels that we were referring to between 39 and 29. Personally I would fit 10mm spacers on these wheels and bring the ET down to a nice mid point for the A2 at 34You can't fix too low ET with spacers.
Lovely rack, whats the tyre size on there?My Cobalt blue with 15" Audi 100/C4 lighweight forged wheels 5x112 with 20mm conversion spacers 8D0601025D (ET45 5x112 and 5.5kg)

Morning Steve,
I knew I’d seen these wheels on question on an A2 before. They’re shown on the very first picture on the Project OEM thread all the way back at Post #1:

Just going back over the initial few posts and cannot believe how quickly it transformed into what I drive now, such a great purchase which was all down to you Sir.
Kind regards,
Tom

Sorry for the lack of netiquette of reviving a thread, but I remember seeing one of you's A2s wear these 17s, and they are the right PCD - is it just the Mandela effect or can any one of you recall who it was?
If you remove them I think you will find that one set are original Audi, probably Ronal, and the other set aftermarket.Where there two slightly different styles of 17” nine-spoke sport alloys?
Asking as I currently have two A2s on the drive, but one has arms that have a continuous ridge (and seemingly a deeper dish) but the other does not!
Could anyone clarify/explain?!?
