2010 D3 A8L Wheels
I have been looking today at 2010 A8's and have seen several wheels on them and have no idea which are stock and which are after market. Can someone please clarify?

At least first three are stock designs--though keep in mind replica copy cats were sometimes sold.
First ones look like the std. S8 wheels. 20 x9. Dumped by a lot of the new owners from watching em on EBay in large numbers back in the day, but seem more liked now and all those wheels found homes somewhere.
Second one looks like the "later" RS6 style wheels called twin 7's. Common on later (not very common) W12's; also used with later 4.2 "sport" option when they got to 20's instead of just 19s. 20 x9 if the true ones. Forged so stronger and lighter than many others. There are some 18's and even 19's of these wheels, though not sure of origin.
Third one was a later 4.2 baseline type wheel as I recall. Might have replaced the very standard pretty plain 5 spoke 18" used for quite a while.
Fourth one doesn't ring a bell offhand. Here is a website I saved that sometimes helps: Audi A8 Original Felgenprogramm Übersicht

What I run on mine. 
Also, polished face and two tone with a gray smoke on barrel and spokes so upscale finish. Very late big bucks ones are polished throughout. One board member got them on a recent late model W12.
