would they notice?
 

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/89231/a3.07.10.05_013.jpg"></center><p>i have a sport package b7, and my dad's buying an a3 this weekend. after my lease is over, i'm going to take the a3. would the dealership notice if i swapped the wheels on the car before i returned the lease, because i've seen b7's with the a3 wheels, but i think they're the non-sport pkg's. anyone's input with some inside info on dealership's checklists when you return the would be appreciated.

they don't fit, bolt pattern are different between A4 and A3

damn. well, there goes that.
 

are you sure though? because i've seen both a3's and a4's with the b6 sport pkg wheels and the sport pkg a3 wheels.

checked on tire rack...the bolt pattern is the same 5x112 yes?

A3's are 5x112 now, not the old 5x100, but the offsets might be different...
 

Tires are slightly smaller for the A3 for sure - 225/45-17's instead of the 235/45-17's that the A4's have.

My guess is they wouldn't notice....
 

I guess it really comes down to what it says in your contract? Does it specify anything about changing wheels and the such? What about having seperate rims for snows? What happens if you damaged one of the wheels?

I bet they wont even notice.

they wont notice, do it!!!!lol

Maybe they won't notice, but do you really want to "steal" those rims?
 

Because that's what you're doing.

they fit,,, im running S4 18s, same offset ET45, stock A3 is ET56 so you need spacers for A3s on A4

they would not notice; I've turned in cars missing head rests, floor mats, etc
 

a used car we bought that was originally leased had the cargo cover over the cargo area (avant) missing, and it was turned in that way from lease... that's a $500 part
