Default Here is something to think about...Audi S8 18" wheels on a new S4 (pic)

<center><img src="http://131.107.68.28/audiworldpics/2000/diablo_07.jpg"></center><p>I tried on this S8 wheel on my S4 today (loaner from Perry E...from his S6 Avant). It just might fit...but it would need about a 5mm spacer...I believe. Anybody else think that it is cool lookin? (I don't know the offset...and I think it is a 18X8.5" wheel)

Default I would need to see a side shot with both 18" (I know, hard to do)

It's hard to tell from this picture, but the 18s may look a little out of proportion. I dunno, call it a judgement call.

Default Looks great, how much do you think they go for?? Any replicas?? What is the tire size?

The rims look very nice, does anybody know how much they would cost, any replicas available?? Do you think that they are heavy?? What is the tire size?

thanks

Default Comments on weight, tire size, and cost

By a seat of the pants scale...both Perry and I thought the OEM 17" avus wheels that came on the S4 were heavier than the S8 18" wheels (this was for tire and wheel both).

Tire size on that rim was a 235/40/18. I think a 225/40/18 might have worked as well.

Cost? Well, this is what I am checking in to....according to Perry...he got them from a friend of his for only a slight bit below $425/wheel. Sounds even more interesting now, huh? The guy he got them from has NOT responded to my email yet.
