Plenty of 20" stock Audi wheels to choose from that look really good. I'd personally like to get a set of 21" Peelers. I still have stock wheels on the S8, but upgraded to a tire size that is normally used on the A8L W12, nice ride. Many many options out there, try to stick with stock Audi or a known forged wheel.
good luck.

Hi all,
I want a new look and i am debating what other wheels i should
Do with, preferably 19's as thats whats on it right now.
Any suggestions???
Lots of good aftermarket OEM style wheels out there. I stayed with 19's this time because I wanted the ride more than the look. This is the first time I've ran a tire with more meat that a 35 series in a long time!
Whats the name of a nice forged wheel for audi's?
All options i find for the car are 18's or 19's, i think i want to go a bit bigger
There may be additional OE forged varieties but I know with certainty that both finish styles of seven double spoke 20's are forged and very light and the 19" turbines are also forged and even lighter. MP4.2+6.0 actually weighed the 20's and included the weight of the 19's in a older post from around 2010.
In the US, OE 20's appeared in 2007 on sport package D3s and W12's with a light face and tinted accents and 2008-2010 all polished. The 19" turbines were an option in the US from 2004-2007.
You can't go wrong with the forged turbine 19's. OE wheel so won't be value subtract when you go to sell. I believe they are the lightest unsprung weight with OE wheels and also more ride comfort than 20's. I personally think they look great on D3's and to me look bigger than they are.

I had the turbine 19" wheels on my car before I replaced with the current setup. I had boxed them up to keep since they were the original wheels for the car. After several months now taking up space in the garage - I've been thinking about letting them go. I just don't see the need to hang on to them. I don't want to turn your thread into a Craigslist ad, so if you have any interest you can PM me and I'll get some pics for you. Just let me know.
Wheels are tough - there's just too many choices! Good luck!

Those are some of the very few wheels I think look good on a D3 besides the factory turbines! Good choice!

Hey, I thought you'd disappeared Mr. Modest! (always liked your username). Welcome back, or excuse me because I've been off the AW so much!

Thanks - I had a hard time finding something I really liked. I was just after a more updated look, not a wheel that was common and screamed aftermarket. I was surprised to see a pretty good selection of Audi style wheelss out there. They took hubcentric rings but still balanced out great on the car - I couldn't tell a difference over the stock at all.
