Default Wheels & Tires...

I ditched the original 18" conti's and threw on a quad of BLAZZAKS last November. Didn't get ice & snow until this month but I was glad to have em' when it got slippery.

I'm now thinking warmer thoughts and pondering the possibilities of where the rubber meets the road. The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position is looking pretty good on the tirerack, anyone experienced them?

I own this awesome machine, so thinking long term I'd like another set of rims to save the $90 tire switching fee 2x per year. I love the factory turbines but the extra inch (19") adds $ to the price of the rim and tire.

Below is a link to a replica 18" turbine. Does anyone have any experience with 18" turbines? Would they look okay on the A8 or are the 19's just a better way to go?

Thanks for any opinions.

I have 5 Factory 19"s for sale if you're interested. They just came off a brand new 2007 that the customer wanted the sport package wheels. E-mail me if you're interested.
