Purpose and fitment for Audi

The presented rim has been developed as a component of the Audi suspension system, maintaining factory mounting parameters. The bolt pattern, number of holes, diameter, and offset are selected to work with the hub, braking system, and suspension without the need for spacers or modifications, provided the vehicle complies with the manufacturer's factory specifications.

By maintaining the original rim geometry, the steering system retains its predictable characteristics, and the tires operate within an optimal range, which promotes even tread wear and stability at higher speeds.

Aluminum construction and performance properties

The rim is made of aluminum, which helps reduce unsprung mass compared to classic steel solutions. A lighter rim relieves the suspension components, improves response to road irregularities, and can positively influence ride comfort and steering precision.

The silver surface finish blends well with both light and dark body paints, while also making it easier to visually assess any mechanical damage or dirt. The rim structure is optimized for stiffness, which is important during dynamic driving and intensive braking.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The rim has a specific diameter, width, offset, center bore, and number of mounting holes, which enables proper seating on the hub and compatibility with appropriately selected tires. This configuration of parameters allows for maintaining the correct wheel position relative to the wheel arch, reducing the risk of rubbing against suspension components, and ensuring the proper operation of the ABS and electronic stability control systems.

Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the rim parameters with the vehicle's factory data or the existing set of wheels to confirm compliance with the manufacturer's requirements. Thanks to this, the rim can be used both as a replacement for a damaged wheel and as a component to complete a set of seasonal wheels.

Product condition and practical application

The rim comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive solution for users looking for original components at a reasonable price. It can be used as a replacement for a single damaged rim, as part of a summer or winter wheel set, or as a base for potential visual refurbishment according to individual preferences.
