Default What wheels are these?

Hard to get a wheel right on an 8 IMO. These look great but what are they?

It's worth asking the forum sponsors, A8 parts as they do get sets of these occasionally. For my part I think that they are a great design and suit the car well, I just prefer the larger "Cantona" versions like on Psyche's former D3 which Ian now has

Great design the Fat Fives, but on the D3 they look small at 18".



They are much better suited to the D2 or other smaller models.

These are my fat 5s as winter wheels. They are finished in gunmetal grey so dont show the dirt!

The Cantonas are great wheels.. I liked the S8 ones I had on for a bit (apart from the buckled ones), but the Cantonas just worked a treat with that colour too.
