Thank you MP, I missed it previously. Thanks for posting the original felgen site, found out my specific wheel is 16.1kg or 35.49lbs: https://www.original-felgen.com/4h0601025p8z8.html

MP, what do you think of this one? I thought all Audis had the same center bore, but this one says it is 66.45 instead of 66.56: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SET-4-20x9-...7/124284780631

A hub ring wouldn't work as that would need to be fit to something larger than what's on the car, if I understand how that works correctly. I welcome everyone's thoughts on this.

Probably just a typo on centerbore, but I would be wary more generally since they are aftermarket.

Also notice the wheel offsets are listed as different than front to back, yet same width. And as listed, it is really the reverse of the norm for Audi's. That is, the rears can usually take wider spacers than the fronts, including on D4's. More room back there and suspension clearance less constrained in general. Thus, the more aggressive wheels (lower numeric offset) would logically be in back, but they list as for front. They could be reversed in practice, but it is sort of a clue to me this distributor/seller probably is not that tuned in to true Audi fitments.

I think there are OE wheels in that design (besides the later S8 21's) but you would have to look further. Personally, I prefer the OE forged in 20 x 9, where there are 3 or so choices. That gets both strength and lower weight. Haven't really kept up on the D5 or C8 OE choices to know what is newer out there either.

I didn't see that at first MP- I'm of the mind that it is a typo; editing really isn't in the wheelhouse of some of these eBay retailers. It is something I would get clarification on if I were to go this route. They offer these same wheels at nearly double the price in 21" diameter. According to the seller, this set of 20x9 weighs in at 31 lbs per wheel. How close is that to yours?

Audi OE forged 20 x 9 twin 7 spokes I run are 27lbs IIRC, and the pretty common forged twin 10's are a couple pounds more. My prior threads have the confirmed weights I recorded at the time.

I think of those wheels in the 21's as basically the later common S8/S8+ wheels--the ones that succeeded the 5 spoke rotors mine came with.

Thanks MP, I figured these were repros of later S8 wheels as I've seen them on here. Still, they're lighter than my OE 21s (35.4lbs) so that's a slight benefit. Part of the fun is in the looking, and I'm doing a LOT of looking.

With regard to fitment is it safe to assume that if it'll fit an 2013 Audi S7, it'll fit my car as well? Only reason I ask is because most of these configurators will say yes to one and no to the other.

MP4.2+6.0

Yes. My own 20" wheels came from a C7 A7/S7 donor. Same offset set up, same bolt pattern, same center holes, 9" width. Tire size is wrong--35 series instead of 40 series. So you prefer wheels only.

Thanks, MP. I'm going to change all my configurators for the S7 in that case...as I said, being told that the wheel won't fit my car (but will fit an S7) means someone's not actually doing homework, just spouting by rote.

MP4.2+6.0

Yes, and a lot more out there. A7's would be same and 20's were probably an option. A7 and S7 both only started with the C7 body, so also no chance you will have confusion with the older smaller hub center like D3's or C6's had.
