Default Ok Does anybody have these wheels on their D3 A8/S8?

I can't stop looking at them and they tell me they're 32lbs each -- which has to be lighter than the OEM split 7 spokes we have now.

The price is right, I just can't get a feel for a +35 offset?

From what I can find, the 20x9 split seven spoke rim are 25lbs.

On an unrelated note, which of those two cars is quicker round the track, the CLS55 or the S8?

I have Hartmann htt -256-ma 19" version of those as my winter set up. There are other cheaper manufactured versions made of these as well. 35 offset is fine.

these wheels will look nice and you cant beat the price, if anything you can put a 10-12mm spacer if you want to have a flush look but depending on the tire you run (I would keep the stock S8 size 265/35) it should look on point. I would just skip Hartmann wheels as they are also Chinese wheels but cost double of the ones on Fleabay

The 265/35 size is wonky. They did that because Yokohamas are a little chunky. I'm putting new Michelins on next week in 275/35 which is a much more common size and sometimes cheaper.

Heartmann is Chinese like an iPhone is chinese, they are good wheels. I have been running mine for five years on my A4 without issue.

I would also agree the P275/35R20 is the way to go. There are so much more options in that size and that size is factory option size in 20.

Also the +35 et is a great offset. I would not run spaces in the front but out use about 10mm spacers in the rear with that offset. I ran a set of the 20 inch twin spoke replica wheels with that offset and spacers in the front would have been way too much.

I have the Audi 21" wheels on my 2008 S8. The tires are 275's. There are wheel spacers , but I don't recall what size.
The wheels and tires came off a 2013 S8.
