I think they might look A-OK ............

The reason I will not go with them is because they obviously push the tires further to the outside of the wheel-well which is what they are suppose to do.
I don't want to have more debris thrown down the side of the car that's why I'll not go with them.
I have over the years ran spacers on a variety of cars however.
Like most accessories it's just a personal choice sort of thing.

Good-Luck with them,
Terry

If someone can take a close up picture of the Alu-Optic Trim with both the window trim and the side mirrors in the shot- that would be great.
OR
If someone can go out to the car and visually inspect them. AS well as the texture to confirm that the Window Trim & Side Mirror are the same finish?

Did they put the same mirror finish on the rs3 from the s3? I'm pretty sure the Alu-Optic trim differs greatly from the s3 mirrors...
Dumb thing on my mind that I can't confirm because I'm in China. And from the pictures its hard to tell.

I agree 100%. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like this color matches the trim the best. You really don't even need the black optics package.

Congrats on the car btw

Honestly I'd get the Alu trim for any color but the white or the grays for this car. For white or the grays, the black optics looks awesome.

Definitely a concern of mine Terry, I had the PPF installer add some pieces aft the wheel wells to mitigate a bit, and am not going super aggressive so hopefully it's not kicking up too badly. I really can't stand the "tucked in" wheels look of the OEM though, car has such an aggressive body that it needs a bit more wide stancewise IMHO.

Nice ride. Looks exactly like my 2018 - Ara Blue, no black optics, no RS design package, aluminum interior trim.
For 2018, there was at most 2 configured like that, so welcome to an exclusive club.
