For those who have the FE 20" wheels, these make great winter wheels. The extra rubber on the 18" tyres really does improve handling on snow and ice (even with standard tyres - although winter tyres are obviously better).
I had my S8 well and truly stuck on my drive one year when using the 20" wheels on snow/ice. The next year I swapped to 18" wheels (identical to these) and the car was fine on the snow-covered drive (and on the roads).
And they still look good, of course!
