The Definitive Alloy Wheel Picture thread (Alloys)

If you remove them I think you will find that one set are original Audi, probably Ronal, and the other set aftermarket.

I think you’re right.. the one with the continuous ridge seems to be original, but the other ones do look good too!

Both cars are original Sport spec, so at some point the aftermarket wheels (which I’ve never had any problem with) must have been swapped in.

From my experience of original wheels like this, they are prone to bending on potholes.
I would suggest the aftermarket wheels may well be stronger!

Can not vouch for your wheels but I run RS4 replica 9 spokes 17" and they are dual PCD. They are bomb proof.

I use 205 50 16 on my 1.6 Fsi & 195 50 16 on my Tdi thats with TT 16" alloys

 

[Proghound]

I'm pretty sure I had 195/50/16 on my set that went with my cobalt TDI. That was a few years ago now!

205/50/16 although oversized work well.

Ideally you don't want to go narrower than 205 as the 16" TT rims are 7j wide rims.

You could also consider 205/45/16 or 215/45/16 off the A1.

Which TT wheels are you using 5 or 7 spoke?

The 7 spoke Ronal's look good on the A2 but the 5 spoke Speedline's are quite a bit lighter

I have 185/50 nexens on my BBS RX 7" width and it is stretched just a little, nothing major...

They are now on my car Ian with new tyres, bought from Tim who bought your car.

That set originally came into the Club on Jeremy @sciroccorrado's 'JRV', if you remember that far back! I bought them from him and ran them on my crystal TDI initially.

I am running 215/45x16 Nokian Hakka Blue2 tires on the Audi A1 16" 10 spoke wheels.
They are 7" width with ET 34mm, and I have no scrubbing issues.
Regarding scubbing/clearance with larger width tires, it may be a little different for your FSI, as mine is the S-Line model which I am told has slightly stiffer suspension and is lowered 10mm from the standard FSI.
BTW, the tires are very impressive and give a slot-car/go-cart feeling via the level of grip on the road (and they excel in wet conditions).

They are now refurbished with new tyres Ian on my tdi.
