Default Wheels for S8 D4

Hello guys,

I've been looking for wheels for my S8 for the past several months. My stock wheels are 20x9 inch, ET35, 5x112 bolts. The car is the facelift version, it's 2014 but I think in the US it's model 2015.

Now, I don't want to go any bigger than 20, because roads where I live are not very nice. I liked the Vossen CV5 and CV3, but the sales team assured me they will not fit because of the car's massive brakes and the internal lip of the wheels.
For the past two days I've been looking at BBS XA, which I like, but not love like the Vossen. I've looked through some major wheel dealers, but found nothing nice. I would love some help, as I'm not entirely familiar with the popular US dealers.

I'm willing to spend about $3000 total and I prefer wheels from a well-known manufacturer. Also I prefer concave wheels, but I know this is a long shot.

Thanks!

I think that sales team is not right. Vossen CV3/5 should fit D4 if they are 20x9 5x112 ET35 (or close). They just don't look too strong for such heavy vehicle. Check tirerack.com for something else you may like.

I seriously doubt it, they were pretty consistent. On top of that I contacted some UK representative and they told me the same thing.

Anyway, Vossens are out of the question as every pro says they won't fit. Any good wheel dealer recommendations?

I ended up buying BBS XA in 20x9.5 size. Coming in 10 days or so, I hope they look as fine as on the pictures.

Looking sharp, they suit the car well.

Odds are, no one around here is going to have two for sale, a full set is all you're likely to find.

And it wouldn't hurt to specify which of the 21's you are looking for.
