Any advise on these.............
saw these advertised on e-bay, look like a bargain - although they won't ship so would need to tackle that as I live in Jersey! (any offers for someone to collect for me?
 )http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUDI-A8-STYLE-...item3f01b86996 I was wondering about that old saying......if its too good to be true....  Any advise/comments?

Well the tyres as well as being a sh*t brand are the wrong size. They need to be 255/35R20.
Plus the wheels are 1/2 an inch too narrow when compared with the 20's that they did fit to a 2002 S8. Sorry to say but I'd keep looking for a better set myself.

thanks - thought I couldn't be this lucky as everything else I have looked at was in the £1500 bracket................I'll save my pennies for the 'right' set!

yeah they are sized up for A3/golfs with a tyre profile like that
nothing wrong with the nankang tyres tho i run them on a few of my cars including the S8 in the winter time, a little bit noisy but the performance/pound they are worth every penny

I personally just don't like replicas, they are heavier and most buckle easier. Also they don't look that great, the centre caps just look naff and they scream fake and could possibly start flaking/bubbling. Try and get some genuine wheels. Is it this style and 20'' your after? I'll keep an eye out for you.

thanks - yes although some FE's like yours would also fit the bill nicely!
If you do come across anything, yes please let me know (choice in Jersey is limited to say the least)
