Here's my fave:


Link does not offer a wheel for ceramic brakes. I have tried 2 wheels, both 19x8, one with 45mm offset another with 40 and neither clear front brakes. First wheel was Alutec from tire rack, second was Petrol from Town Fair.

Default FOUND WHEELS THAT CLEAR

Drag DR-60
19 X8 5-112.00 32 BKMTXX
ITEM# 71435

Should fit on both front and rear??? Who'll be the first to test this setup
Moda MD 25 19x8 35mm offset fit on my 2018 RS3 with the carbon ceramic front brakes. Tire Rack has them for $165 and there are color options as well.

With a smaller offset than factory wheels, they'll stick out further to the outside of the fender wells by about 7mm. Would like to see photos of them mounted on a RS3.

Default Neuspeed RSe10 18"x8.5 ET45

I can confirm the Neuspeed RSe10 wheels will fit the RS3
I got in some 18"x8.5" in a et 45 offset

They're flowformed so they should be strong and they only weigh 20.3 lbs.

Impeccable customer service from Jerry at Neuspeed!




Probably about 3-5mm of clearance at the tightest points at the top and bottom of the caliper to the barrel of the rim. The spokes have ample of clearance. You could likely run with weights just behind the spokes but I'll probably run them in the tire channel about 2" inboard just to be safe.

I'll be running 235/40/18 Blizzaks for the winter

RWC 18.8 (not 8.5) ET 35 fits. Replika got on their website 4-5 models that also are tested. Only one is ET35 (rest is lower). With tiny 225 tires (perfect for winter) your rubber patch will stay behind the fenders...

Picked up my car on Tuesday, visiting Achtuning next week to hopefully try some different options.

I just installed my Neuspeed RSe10 - I ordered them a couple of weeks ago, but they arrived last Tuesday, the day I left for a road trip to Laguna Seca for a track weekend with my Miata. I got home Wednesday, and got the winter tires installed and on the car yesterday (Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 235/40-18). Here's a few pictures - wheels are RSe10 18x8.5 ET45, Satin Gray

Thanks for sharing! Did you keep balancing weights back a little further on the rims to avoid encroachment on the calipers?

Oh man. I guess I'll have to get something different if you get those first
