If you’re treating yourself to a brand new Audi RS, picking the optional extras is all part of the fun.
From the RS3 to the iconic RS TT, and the new RS6 Performance, there’s a mouthwatering range to delight your motoring mind. With so much choice, it can be a bit overwhelming: Which model? What colour? And that’s all before we stop to consider alloy wheels!
Why choose Alloy Wheels?
Audi has chosen alloy wheels as standard for all of its RS models. And it’s not difficult to see why - they’re light, easy to handle and look great! Less weight means quicker acceleration and more responsive braking, as well as better fuel economy than you’ll find with equivalent steel wheels. Alloy wheels also provide more effective cornering than steel, and better handling all round. With style and performance being so important throughout the RS range, Audi has chosen not to include a steel option - just a range of beautiful, well-engineered alloys on all models.
Which Alloy Wheels are best for my Audi RS?
Each car in the Audi RS range has at least two additional choices beyond the standard alloys. A selection of 19”, 20” and 21” wheels that perfectly complement each model. Of course, each set of wheels comes with the appropriate tyres and locking wheel bolts. To ensure correct fitting, we’d always recommend that you choose alloy wheels supplied by Audi for your RS model.
With so many variables to consider, we can understand why you might be undecided. Whichever alloys you choose, the combined height of the wheel and tyre must stay the same as the standard combination. This means that larger alloys require lower profile tyres that might result in a firmer drive. As with all fashions, sometimes you have to compromise a little on comfort for those drop dead gorgeous looks!
What are the Audi RS Alloy Wheel Options?
The Audi RS3 five-cylinder, 2.5 TFSI engine produces a creditable 400PS. With a choice of bodystyle - saloon or sportback - this model deserves a great set of wheels.
