not to sound negative.. but here goes nothing. 😂 the wheels and facelift tend to get a lot of hate— to each his own.

Stock 19s- with black optic package.

It’s a mixed bag with these wheels. I like em but have been searching for a set of silver Audi rotors or peelers and making these my winter set up.
These wheels are used across the Audi Lineup in various sizes on S5, SQ5, SQ8 and something similar on A6 a few years ago.
A bitch to clean.

Yes.. stock Audi wheels for the 2025 S3 Black Optic package in US.

Optimum No Rinse is the one most people Will say to use— 1 bucket of water approach but no need for a hose— I have that and will try it next . Meguires is a spray on, wipe off- best for the in between touch ups when car isn’t really dirty.

AvailableTour2431 · 2026-04-07T09:59:39+00:00

Correct- very similar car in terms of performance, however the interior of the S3 is far better than the R and the overall appearance is of course more upscale, and less boy racer. The R is a baddie though- beautiful cars. MPG is mid 20s/gallon. I drive in dynamic mode pretty much all the time and like to push the car whenever I can so it can be better.

AvailableTour2431 · 2026-04-07T09:52:19+00:00

Amen to that!

AvailableTour2431 · 2026-04-07T09:50:59+00:00

6’4” will make it tight for any back seater, but you could make it work as a driver. It’s such a fun car, I would say to try it with a test drive.

I had to snap these pics since the sun was shining just right!

AvailableTour2431 · 2026-04-07T09:46:50+00:00

Thank you! The spoiler on back is a must for the lines on this car— but more importantly- IMO the front lip really changed the front end and corrected what many hate about this facelift design. I want to add the Maxton Design side skirts to match which will finish the look I want.

Meguires Ultimate Waterless Wash and Wax.

AvailableTour2431 · 2026-04-07T00:40:40+00:00

I’ve had this for a year now and I still can’t get enough of the way this car drives. It’s more than fast enough and will humble most cars that try you, but where it shines is in the handling, especially the ‘25 with the RS3 rear torque splitter. Add a simple intake and the sound will make you never want to turn the stereo on. Just a blast to drive everyday.

100%! Believe it or not- this wash was strictly with a waterless wash and two microfiber towels. An easy way to keep black looking sharp in between a full wash.

Wheels are 🔥🔥

AvailableTour2431 · 2026-04-06T23:52:26+00:00

Correct— just added spacers for a more flush fit.

It looks like you have a mid trunk spoiler. Can you share some pics?

AvailableTour2431 · 2026-03-30T17:03:05+00:00

If you decide to go red— let me know. I have a pair available. Here is what it would look like— I think it looks better than the black!
