They look ok to me... Reasonably classy and sporty to suit the look of the A8.
Would need to see them on the car for a definative assessment!
With 40mm offset, what size tyres are you looking to run?

With ET 40 it'll give a narrowish look - it'll sit inboard a bit.
ET35, 32, or even 25 with 245's
see here - he has ET25 20x8.5 with 245's on the front... And lowered!
His is very agressive though, I have ET32 (on 19's) which sits very wide.

If you want them to sit wider, you could easily go a 10mm spacer (and longer bolts).
or
If you want to take advantage of a wider tyre, judging from the S8 stock rims (also running 245's) at ET48 and our friend from the link I gave before running ET25 (again with 245's), I would say a 265 tyre would fit pretty well.
Thats a very wide tyre for a steer tyre, but it's been done!
And you won't get an accurate profile (unless they make a 265/32 x 20!)
265's will also be horribly expensive, so you might find it better to just stick with 245's and go with spacers!
