Where's the tyres on them 22 inch wheels .....I can see some black rubber bands but that it ??
Each to there own here but if it makes the ride quality harsh I just wouldn't like them , suppose the s8 is more that sort of car but an a8 is a more luxurious kind of car where ride quality is the key for me , maybe it's just an age thing .... get there in comfort rather than being dragged along on a shovel .

I'm convinced with modern cars that this low profile tyre and stiff suspension set up is what knocks bells out of suspension components , broken springs , ball joints worn out and so on , it seems the German cars have gone this way more so , not everyone wants to scrag round corners on two wheels and a door handle

My A8 is on 20 inch wheels and for me thats big enough , if there is anything I would like better on the car is a more plush ride in comfort mode , I think the set up is still more firm side of comfort .

Again not knocking them , the wheels look great , them ceramic discs must cost a fortune also !!
