New A8/S8 Wheels Gallery
My A8/S8 Wheels Gallery got a major workover recently. New layout that's supposed to provide easier viewing, comments on that are very welcome.
More important; the new system is on my own server, with a new publishing system that pretty much automates updates. The old one was all manual and a hassle to keep updated. So keep sending pictures, they will be online in a snap!
Many new pictures as well, so visit at the risk of wanting new wheels! I know I do...

looks great...in your absense I maintained one as well... take a look.
if you want to take all the ones I have and add them to yours then we can consolidate and have it updated on Audipages.com

Looks great! but i think i see an oopsie on page1. Those Audi RS6 18" as you call them, are actually
from an Audi A3 i believe.
Look at this up2date and accurate website (in German).
I think its the 2nd wheel from the bottom.

I guess they provide the same design for many models (replicas), but RS6 Mk1 had them first
Check the link you provided (Thanks, some great stuff there!):
<a href="http://www.audifelgen.de/">http://www.audifelgen.de/</a>
Click on the link at the bottom of the page (Neue Felge 19" Zoll)
Check text at picture 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Stock RS6 Mk1:

I am pretty sure the ones on my page are replicas, as I believe the RS6 got them in 19" only. Notice the difference in tire profile between the stock RS6 and the A8, same wheel gives a quite different look due to different size. The A8 should probably have them in 20" to give the same look as on the RS6.

Thanks for covering up for me! :-)
Why not consolidate both ways, mirrors are always a good thing.
Besides, I guess your site has a download performance advantage from your side of the pond, right?

Kahn Design RS-X Diamond?
I have been looking at these rims:
<a href="http://audiwheels.kjella.net/images/fullsize/Khan%20RS-X%2021%2002.jpg.JPG">A8 D3 with Kahn RS-X</a>
I admit it, I have a weakness for Y-spoke designs. :-)
What do you guys think of them on a D2?
I believe they are available in 20", 21" and 22" now, but I guess sticking with 20" for the D2 would be a good idea.
Not very expensive either, I can get them here for about $400 each (plus tax).
Link to Kahn Design RS-X page:

By the way: they have a carbon/magnesium wheel coming up too: :-)~
