They look cracking Jake. Did you have to get spigot rings? My understanding is the spigot on the D4 is 66.x mm

Yeah but I was in luck there(as I didnīt know) but my 17'' winter rims has the same spigot-hole(is that a word?) so the rings from those fit right on the 20'' s Just got the wheelbolt-lockables(just making up words here) from Audi with a 50% discount!! When I did the repair/maintenance at Audi, I got 50% off on everthing(parts/labor) and apperantly they keep giving me this discount even tho I didnīt ask for it SO I'm a happy camper regarding the whole 20'' adventure. Just cleaned 2 of them, used autosol on the polished parts and did a complete rim-"sealeant" to keep them fresh(similar to nano-coating I guess) It took over 3 hours, so due to bad weather and time I have to do the last 2 another day.

However your wheels look some how different to those in this picture, I'm loving the look of your wheels but prefer this and wondering what the difference is as I can't quite work it out, is in the profile, or what? Obviously if I could have these in 22"s I would be over the moon and a dead cert, as they're Audi replica wheels, and to have them in a OEM look but on an oversized rim appearance would be great. Regards, Mark.

Registration: 2 WXG (Private plate from 1962 Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs. Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons. Future Plans: Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered. Planned Mods: Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

One more answer... you might mean the shine of it? mine are polished on the spokes and they do shine... but the ones you have posted is from a professional taken picture... they can do stuff with lighting that makes the same thing look different.
There is an option which has polished spokes and antracit paint inside, which makes the polished parts stand more out. I saw some replicas on a brand new A6 the other day... sad he didn't opted for originals... they do look nicer )they were 19''s... sad
