Hello from Italy :)

Right now I have standard six-spoke wheels with 175/60 R 15 tyres.

I would like to buy these wheels which in Italy were fitted on the 1.6 FSI:

What I would like to know is:
- what kind of size are those wheels ? 16'' x 6'' ?
- what size of tyres will fit ? 185/50 R 16 ?
- can you suggest a site where I can buy those wheels ?

Thank you very much ! ;)

Hi Andi
I don't think this wheel was an option on UK cars but it looks like a design called 'Star' which was available on A3 and A4 models (probably 7.1/2"x 17)
The parts list, which should cover every original item on the A2 shows a picture of a similar style wheel (item 5) which may be same as the one in your picture. (this is a 6 x 16 rim and would take a 185/50/16 tyre) This would be worth checking out so maybe an Italian Audi dealer can help further

Cheers Spike

Thank you Spike.
During this weekend I've found out that those are 6x16 as you were suggesting.
I've found lots of german replicas of these rims on Ebay (they're probably heavier than the originals... I will check the price of the original ones in an Audi dealer).
One last question: the PCB in the A2 is 5x100, correct ?

Thanks a lot !
