Default Need one used 16 inch stock A8 wheel (5 spoke)

Once again I am posting/pleading for a used A8 16 inch wheel.

I damaged one of mine and was wondering if someone had a single, or had recently run across one at a dismantler, friend's garage, etc..

Thanks,
Mike

I think the 16" A8 wheel is polished, and I know the A4 wheel is painted.

Default BTDT :- (

Hi Jack,

BTDT, and for 2 months now. No Joy.

With so many upgrading to 18 inch wheels I thought it would not be that hard to find a single 16. That is not proving to be the case though.

Still looking,
Mike

CEB, that's what I show as well. They don't show to interchange.

Default A few differences

The A8 wheel is 16x7.5, et37, or somewhere around there, can't remember exact offset.

The A6/A4 wheels are 16x7, with a 5 mm of so positive offset, so somewhere around 32.

I was wondering how my A6 maxed out at 225's where i was able to get 255's on these. The rims look identical.
