think you'll need 4x100 to 5x112 pcd adaptors

Just to give this thread a dose of anorak I think you'll find the A3 is 5*100 PCD, so 5*112 adaptors are definitely NOT what you want.  If you fitted Golf3 GTI/16V or VR6 hubs and brakes those wheels would probably bolt right up.

Ive just bought some of those wheels. As DH said they go straight on the golf3 16v hubs and also fit over 280 calipers
