Anyone can advise if 19-21 inch rims does any fuel issues to your current Q3? 
any kakis already zhng their rims and tyres?
 

still contemplating what size rims should I go for? Currently looking at 19 inch rims. But I see some kakis on the road with 20-21 inch rims. 😬

hi, not necessary bigger rims will worsen your fuel consumption. It depends on the weight of the rim. 20'' forged or flow formed rims can be lighter than 18'' cast rims. but of cos forged and flow formed rims cost more

if change from 18'' cast rim to 20'' cast rim then of cos, fc will worsen

I am on 19" since day 1, not forged, but supposedly light weight rims made in Germany. I get average of 13km/l based on the long term trip computer, but based on my own calculation, each tank about 12.7 to 13km/l. I also have the Revo tune, and usually 70% on HW. Long and short is with the tune, tend to be lighter on the pedal, and therefore quite efficient.

Bigger rim is actually better FC for HW travel.

for city travel, will affect FC .

ya end of day still depends on our driving route and driving style.... weight of rim plays a smaller part

70% HW regardless of any rim, FC should be relatively good

Man, I'm a Singaporean working in Hong Kong and have been year for a few years now. I occasionally visit this this website and despite it occurring almost every time, I still get a shocked at how expensive car prices are back home. I recently upgraded to an Audi RSQ3 Sportback. Took it in the RS specific Nardo Grey paint and went a bit overboard with option ticking. Went for the complete black styling pack, threw in the monstrous 21-inch black rims, upgrade to the premium B&O sound system and since I wanted to balance sportiness and comfort, decided to pay a little extra for the RS Sports Exhaust and Audi Adaptive Dampers. Pretty much my ideal specification and monster of a car, 2.5L 5-cylinder with 400 hp and a 4.5 second sprint. Was dreading the final quotation but goddamn, it came out to HK$954,194 which at today's exchange rate is SG$170,000. That's the same price as a entry level Q3 sport back in Singapore!? Hong Kong is already considered an expensive place to buy cars but Singapore really puts it to shame... Our approach to car taxation is definitely wonky. Understand that they want to maintain low number of cars on the road. This can be achieved through a high barrier of entry, like the COE, but the PARF should not be based on the car value. That's just penalizing owners. Almost like a luxury tax of sorts.

But you pay for higher parking Charges and fuel. For bread and butter cars the difference between the 2 cities is not so large in the end. But for high end cars, the extra ARF and GST and customs duties will open up the gap like you mention. 
ARF is a luxury tax. Which is why it is tiered.

Hi,

Just booked my Q3 SB last week. Wanted to find out if any bros here brought their cars for MTM Stage 1with PA. I tried looking through the forum, but couldn't really find more information on this. I wanted to find out how MTM Stage 1 improved your driving experience with the Q3 SB and whether there were any issues after tuning. Thanks for sharing!!

hi,

did mtm stage 1 with PA about a year ago, not on a q3 though. definitely more responsive in terms of how the car pulls. maybe 20% better? (butt feel)

FC wise, i dont see any difference. no difference to be honest. Main issue is u tend to drive a bit faster haha oops
