Default The 2003 Audi S8 Limited Edition 17" wheels and tires on eBay are phony ...

.
if they're even Audi wheels at all, they might be from an A4.

225/45-17 has never been a tire specified as as option for even the A8, let alone the S8 -- the diameter is too small. 225/55-17 is an optional A8 tire, and the correct size for the S8 is obviously 245/45-18.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=1866715701">Phony S8 wheels on eBay</a></li></ul>

These are the RS4/RS6 wheels. Probably replicas, as they never has been offered in 17" from Audi. (as far as I know anyway)

Looks just like my new winter wheels, only they are in 18". Looking forward to winter this year!
:-) (pictures coming of course)

.
now he's calling them "Audi A4 Celebrity Edition wheels".

But he only added the footnote, he left everything that referred to them as "2003 S8 wheels" intact.

After bidding has started on an eBay auction, all the seller can do is add a footnote, He can't go back and change the title, etc. Probably should have cancelled the auction and started over.
