Nice summer shoes :). Got pretty much the same earlier this year. Those 708's are really stunning. Just by chance, did you happen to get a set of wheel lock nuts for them? I have been trying to find out if someone knows a place to get them cheaper than through an Audi dealer. Here's my link on AW https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2786961

Thanks for the photos. What tires did you end up going with?

Yes in both cases. Me and the OP.

Lug nuts? I used the ones that were on my OEM 17's and just bought nuts covers and center caps from achtuning. If you needs new lug nuts you could look there or most tire places.

Still one of the best bang-for-your-buck tires out there :)

Sorry, I should have been clearer with my question :o. When I said wheel lock nuts, what I meant were the anti-theft wheel locks that require a special socket.

Funny, the price was about $136 +taxes for a set of 4 when I was having my winter 17" switched over to my 18" summers. I just phoned my rep back asking him to confirm the price without saying what he quoted me months earlier. He came back with from $75 to $90 +taxes !!! Big improvement. Would this price range seem more reasonable to you and other AW members?

Thanks for your input :).
