It appears that the spokes are polished and lacquered, and the rest painted silver, is this right? This is unlike original RS4 wheels which are all painted silver.

What flavour '8 are they going on?

Default is it just the lighting, or is the surface lightly scratched?

may just be the picture, but it looks like someone took a brillo pad to the front of the wheel :-/

in any case, i look forward to seeing them on your car!

Default Agree with SUN999 -- those wheels look great, and ...

.
we're looking forward to a photo of them on your car.

If you get a chance, could you throw the wheel/tire on a scale for a weight? With my 20" HRE's and Bridgestone's,

HRE's -- 27 lb
S-03's - 31 lb
Total -- 58 lb

Original 18" Avus with Dunlop's

Avus --- 27 lb
SP8000 - 27 lb
Total --- 54 lb

I really do like the S-03's; but darn, they are heavy.

BTW, you can post multiple pictures in the same post. See link, and just replace everything in quotes with the pictureposter address.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/feedback/msgs/4430.phtml">Multiple Pictures</a></li></ul>

You're right but it's polishing marks in the natural Aluminium flat section
