Fair market price on "Fat 5" wheels
 

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post or not, so feel free to move or delete.

Basically I'm interested to know what the fair price is for a set of 4 8.5J * 18 "Fat Five" wheels as there's a set on eBay that I'm "pondering". Obviously condition is a factor and these are not perfect, but I won't go into details on that - though general comments would be welcome on how condition affects value.

If the seller is a regular here, apologies, but the location doesn't match to anyone who has "declared" themselves.

Are you talking about Avus rims that were standard on most S8s?

Avus's are 6 spoke..

The fat 5's are the RS6 standard ones.... +++

D'oh! So that's me and Ian wrong then lol

Are they available in the correct PCD? Thought they were mainly 5x100 A3 etc fitment?

Value mainly dependant on tyres to be honest - wheels only I'd say about £50 each if they're in good but not perfect order. £75 a wheel if they're mint - obviously that's if they're a private sale.

I still maintain that Fat 5's are the Rs6 ones - Those are the 17" (D2) or 18" (D3) non-sport wheels that come as standard on the lower models, each to their own, but its the last design I'd choose to downgrade to... +++

Ouch!

So what would you consider as an alternative to 18" Avus, or wouldn't you?

20" 9 spoke RS4 design as per 2002 models.... No contest, its just the best wheel out there.....

Failing that, I think the 6 spoke Avus is probably the pick of the 18"'s as it represents the flagship model...

These?
