Try R1 Racing wheels... thye have a GT-4 ond a GT-9 or something... I liked them a lot, and they are cheap!

GTR-9 hyper silver:



I think coolwheels.com sells them with the Toyo T1-S (or T1-R) for like 1100 and change, Shipped. That is a seriously kick *** tire, too.

d2 is the older a8's if i am not mistaken/drunk. and yes, they do deserve better wheels than that.

I'd buy some AMG monoblocks, and drop it down a bit. PIMP.

D2 is the BIG Audi, 1997-1999 I think. #'s 2 & 4 are only in there because I can afford them. 1, 3, and 5 are my *real* choices. The A8 is a BIGGER car. busy wheels like BBS-style don't work well on larg cars, IMO.

Hey, relief is here, gotta go. C-ya in teh morning

#1 is... decent... but honeslty, I'd buy monoblocks. I swear... I'd even do it with the AMG logo's on them, I think the car would look absolutely insane.

What colour is it?

Since you have a larger car, I think you need to go with thicker spokes to 'balance' the look of the vehicle. Thin spokes (to me) would appear to 'weak' on the car. Maybe a good looking 6-spoke with the spokes about 2-3" wide?
