Audi rims: Variety in design and sizes

Audi is known for its high-quality vehicles, which impress with their sophisticated design and excellent technology. The rims are a central component of the appearance and performance of an Audi vehicle. Audi rims are available in a variety of designs, sizes and offsets to fulfil both aesthetic and functional requirements. Both original Audi rims and products from third-party suppliers are used.

Original Audi rims and manufacturers

Audi Genuine Rims are produced by Audi itself or in co-operation with renowned manufacturers such as Ronal, Borbet or OZ Racing. These companies focus on the highest quality standards and develop rims that are specially customised for the various Audi models. Genuine Audi rims often bear the Audi logo and are designed for a perfect fit and optimum driving behaviour.

Audi rims designs

Audi rims impress with a variety of designs that are suitable for every taste and purpose:

• 5-spoke design: Classic and timeless, often with clear lines that ensure simple elegance.
• Y-spoke design: Modern look, often found on sportier models. The branched spokes add dynamism.
• Rotor design: Particularly popular with RS models, as they exude sporty aggression. These rims are characterised by a closed look.
• Multi-spoke design: For a luxurious and refined look. Often used on luxury mode
• Off-road rims: For SUVs such as the Audi Q7 or Q5. They are wider and more robust to withstand the challenges of off-road driving.

Differences between original and retrofit rims

While original Audi rims are perfectly matched to the vehicle, manufacturers of aftermarket rims such as ATS, AEZ or Dotz offer a wider range of individual designs and sizes. However, attention must be paid to the technical specifications such as load capacity, offset and compatibility with the Audi vehicle.
