Curiously enough, I quite like this set that's listed further down the page, shaped like fan blades.

I like them.
Nice mix of elegance and agressiveness.
Suits the A8 nicely.

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!

Default Right..i dont think i can use spacers on these

oh dear Mercedes use longer bolts like 50mm of thread so i will need 70mm of thread to fit spacers and im not sure i want to do that
they fit the A8 perfect too..

For Sale ??? maybe not sure yet

Use these instead then



I think the thinnest they have is 20mm though.

Do you need spacers for them to clear the suspension or are they just for visual effect?

just visual
but ive looked at them and the small bolts that go into the original hub only pull on a very thin lip on the spacer and i dont like that looks like a weak point
