Audi RSQ3 Sportback F3 Riviera RF23

When it comes to the subcompact performance SUV segment, the Audi RSQ3 Sportback (F3) stands alone. With its iconic 5-cylinder turbocharged engine and aggressive Sportback silhouette, it’s a vehicle that balances brute force with high end luxury. To truly unlock the visual potential of this Quattro powered beast, a wheel upgrade isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. Recently, we had a stunning Nardo Grey RSQ3 to showcase our brand new Riviera RF23 wheels, and the transformation is nothing short of elite.

The F3-generation RSQ3 is already a head turner, especially when finished in the legendary Nardo Grey. The flat grey finish has become synonymous with Audi’s RS division, offering a stealthy yet high performance aesthetic. However, the factory wheel offsets can often leave the car looking slightly narrow. For this build, the goal was to maintain the premium RS feel while giving the Sportback a wider, more muscular “street-fighter” presence that matches its 400hp output.

To complement the Nardo Grey paintwork and the RSQ3’s black styling pack, we selected our latest flow formed design, the Riviera RF23 finished in Gloss Black. The RF23 features a sophisticated multi-spoke design that perfectly bridges the gap between motorsport and luxury styling.

The Gloss Black finish provides a sharp, deep contrast against the grey bodywork, highlighting the RSQ3’s massive brake callipers and aggressive aero. Manufactured using the latest flow forming technology, the RF23 is designed to handle the weight and torque of a performance SUV while offering a significant aesthetic upgrade over the standard OEM wheels.

Fitment is where this build truly separates itself from the rest. While we stuck to the OEM size of 21×9, we didn’t settle for “off the shelf” fitment. To achieve the perfect look, we custom drilled this set of RF23’s specifically for this RSQ3. This allowed us to dial in the offsets to perfection, resulting in a flawless flush fitment. The wheels sit perfectly in line with the extended RS wheel arches, eliminating the factory tuck and giving the vehicle a planted, aggressive stance. By matching the 21×9 dimensions, we’ve maintained the factory recommended tyre sizes and handling characteristics while achieving a custom, wide body look without the need for spacers.

If you’re looking to give your Audi RSQ3 Sportback the stance it deserves, the Riviera RF23 wheels are the definitive choice for the F3 platform.
