Best thing about it.....I drove about an hour to meet Skip, no shipping involved. Skip who a very interesting job....got to see some toys at his work place.....and we swapped wheels.

Went and had a great conversation over a few tacos and cerveza's......then back home.

If he thinks he got a good deal, I think I did also. Just a few marks on these wheels.....the tires are down to the wear markers (summer tires at that), so I'm going to call the tirerack and see what they might have, maybe something "unadvertised" that they want to get rid of. That's where calling them helps.

I'll then make a sales call in MI and stop by and have them mounted (I'll put the 17's on before I leave) and balanced.

Here's skiracer1313's wife's car......they look great! But I want to know.....do they come with leather pants???

skiracer, are those 17" wheels with 225/55/17 tires as well? They do look pretty good...

How much extra?

.....and they told me the 17" wheels won't fit over the Brembo brakes.....I said "I've seen it on this car owned by a girl in leather pants".....

Re: Weren't 17s an option on S8s?

PaulW

Not that I'm aware of

Don't even bother - you couldn't afford it!

skiracer1313

Yes, Twin - those are them all mounted up. They work great and clear the brakes.

They do look good... A bit retro :-)
