Has anyone ever purchased the replica 5 spoke wheel in 17"?
America's tire claims to have replica 5 spoke wheels (oem style) in 17". Has anyone ever purchased a set of these? Pictures? The A8 rim looks too beefy to me on an A4, and the stock 16" look kinda small but they're still one of my favorite wheels.
Thanks,
Warren

I did, and they were not what was promised
They were supposed to be A8 reproductions, painted not polished. I bought them from New England Wheels & Wheelcovers and was told they would be "22lbs shipping weight (actual would be less) with a 45 offset". The actual weight was closer to 28lbs and the offset was 35. When I called I was initially told that they would not take them back simply based on weight. Later I was told to ship them back.

Does anyone know the weight of the 17" A8 five spoke wheels as opposed to the 16" A4 5 spoke wheels?
