I have on my newly acquired car, registered in April 2004, standard looking 17inch sport wheels except that they are painted a darker grey. The car is otherwise standard. Are these original? And if so can anyone suggest what the colour reference might be? They need work and I must decide whether to keep this colour, if original, or return to a colour as supplied when new. Thanks for any advice.

The colour is not original, the original colour is closer to the hub caps

Bolero
They were an option on A2 Sport in Europe
Not in UK. But were an option on Audi S3's in UK

Nice, I'm guessing they are light?

Has anyone ran 195/40R17 on factory 17x7 sport wheels before? A really good deal of these tires popped up for me.

 

[audifan]

Think at that size the rim of the wheel will stick out beyond the tyre far too much. 205 are bad enough.

The ride will be even worse on those, I’d stick to 205/40 If I were you.

 

[A2Z]

As others above have said, you would have zero rim protection and you would also have a little less sidewall depth meaning even less 'comfort' if that is an appropriate word when running 17's.

17's certainly look the best on an A2 but unfortunately definitely don't ride the best ?

I would go 215/40?

Edited to remove 205/45 option as chance they could rub
