Default What do you guys think about the MTM Bimoto wheels

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/34752/mtmbimotofelge2.jpg"></center><p>I am considering on getting a set for my S8, nobody over here has them and i was wondering what you though. The 9.5 will fit my S8 which will give me an inch of traction all around what do you guys think? Do any of you guys have 19's on your car, what rubber should i run on them because the S8 tires are loud and want to something quieter yet still sporty?

Default Those are beautiful...

...WOW.

I have the RS4 18" replicas on my 2000, but I like these better. My Kumho Ecsta's are not noisey and they grip like mad, plus they were reasonable in cost.

For all-saeson, I am going to run Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 19". I have no experience with the tires because the car is too new and I have yet to mount them.

Default Nice...

Pirelli Pzero Rossos came on my stock 19s. From a performance standpoint, these tires are very impressive. they do squeal on moderate to heavy sharp turns. Rain performance is pretty good as well.

What kind of tires came on the S8?

I do not recommend Kumho Ecsta MX (they grip like mad but are LOUD) and Dunlop SP9000s (really hate these tires). i would take the SP8000s over the 9000s.

I got my mom a set of Yoko dBs for her merc S class. but for an S8, i think you will desire a set that's more on the sportier side.

Consider the Rossos.

Default I like the wheels a lot.

Default Hartmann RS4 DTM is very simular for less $

<center><img src="http://hartmannwheels.com/site/products/wheels/audi/Hartmann_500x500_Audi_DTM_007_19_Angle.JPG"></center><p>
The 19 in Hartmann is very similar but the beveling around the edge of the spoke is more like the RS4-RS6 9 spoke wheel. They run about $1100-$1200 for the set. Achtuning has them or you can buy them direct.

Default Very nice derivation on the RS4 DTM wheels. Weight?

They look aftermarket (in so far as more agressive than OE) but are within the character of the car; look forward to seeing them installed!
