Winter wheel time...
Time to get 18" wheels for the Dunlop M3's I got off ebay cheap. Really like the RS6 style, but confused by widely varying prices:
Hartmann Wheels: $255 ea.
http://www.hartmannwheels.com/site/audi.htm
Lakeshore Wheel and Tire: $182.25 ea. ($36 ship)
http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/specials/audi.shtml
Discount Tire: $142 ea. (free shipping)
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?mk=&yr=2001&wd=18&p c=53816&rw=8.5&bp=5-112&vid=006860
and then, of course, could go with Tire Rack's non-Audi-like option at $159 ea., the ASA JH3's (but think these may not look great on S8).

Lakeshore claims sourcing in Italy, TD makes none. Am budget conscious, and more concerned with durability for lousy NJ roads than weight. Experiences, opinions?

For winter, budget the wheels and stick to the best winter tires...
Dunlop M3s are great.
If you want, i have a set of winter wheels taken off my D3 A8 which are sitting around doing nothing. They are 18x8 ET30 RS4 replicas purchased from the wheel exchange. Let me know if you'd be interested. I'm in NJ. I haven't really put them out for sale although I just may sooner or later. There's a pic of them in my pic poster next to the 19" 12 spoke and several on the car.
