Wanted - alloys for s8 D2 please
Evening all.
Does anybody have any surplus alloys tucked away for a 2002 s8 D2 please? Very flexible with size / condition. Happily take a set needed refurb at the right price. Please let me know what you have. Thanks as always

You could be in luck, HP Sauce has just made available his very nicely refurbished 18" Avus alloys, I'd post the thread but I'm on the iPad and I'm useless on it. It's only a few threads down from your request, well worth a look
Pre facelift on a FL car may not be what you're looking for but nice is nice in anyone's books, ignore the purists

That's a very helpful heads up. Thank you both
Just to keep the options open, what other wheels will slip onto the s8 d2? I understand them to be 5 x 112 which is quite common to the VAG line up. But there must be a reason why we don't see the a8's running on other rims?

Common reasons for sticking to Audi OEM wheels are:
1. They look the best 2. Offset needs to quite high (mid-forties) on D2 3. Brake clearance can be an issue. My wheels for sale, linked to above, fit well on a facelift S8 with big Brembos. Bushido, what area are you in? Here's a better picture of a random one:
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.). 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation".  (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!  Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
