Winter's here...
…so the time has come to finally swap to the 18" wheels and the Michelin Alpins (which need a bit of spit and polish…), and which look awfy wee after the 20's. Definitely a softer ride though…

Indeed it is!
My 18" Avus wheels and winter tyres went on a couple of weeks ago. Like you, I think they look small, but the ride is softer - and quieter!

Probably not, - but I do need the Celtic Champions league group pennant with Barcelona, Ajax and AC Milan. |

Also had winter wheels put on A6 yesterday. S8 does not do enough mileage to have separate winter wheels and tyres, only done a bit over 2000 miles between last 2 MOT's and 900 or so of them were for annual meet.
Wheels were refurbished before going on car as well, they are standard 16" 5 spoke wheels with a bit higher profile tyres(205/60R16). Could not decide on colour, wife wanted glossy black, which I did not think would look good at all, was considering matte silver myself but went for gunmetal at the end as middle way. Still did not know to do glossy or matte on my way to refurbishers. In the end went for gloss gunmetal. Have not got any pictures but will try to take some tomorrow.
