FYI: Audi 19" 12 spoke info ('04 A8L)
I'm a big tire/wheel nut (fikse wheels in particular) so I removed the spare the other night and got some info by chance I decide to do an upgrade sometime in the future.
Here are the specs:
19x8.5
ET 45
Weight: 54lbs with 255/40/19 Pirelli Rossos @ 34psi
Weight was done on a bathroom scale. it could be off +/- a lb or two.
Don't know if anyone else posted this info but i've always wondered how much these wheels weighed. Believe it or not, it's not that heavy for a 19" wheel/tire setup. But different tires all weigh differently so there's no proof that the wheels themselves are light. But I'm happy to note that the car's unsprung weight isn't going to be so dramatically affected by these 19s.

Wheel/tire weights ... for wheel/tire nuts like me also
The S8 Avus wheel/tire also weighs 54 lb:
18x8 ET 48
with 245/45-18 Dunlop SP8000
My current setup weighs 57 lb:
20x9 ET39 HRE 546
with 255/35-20 Bridgestone S-03
Titanium fasteners could have reduced this by a bit over one lb. Also, the S-03 is a very heavy tire, and I'll be trying the Toyo T1-S for my next set of tires. They weigh 5 lb less in the same size, bringing the total down to 52 lb :-)
Finally, another nut should enjoy browsing thru the 1200+ wheels listed on <A HREF="http://www.wheelweights.net/">WheelWeights.net</a>.
