Default Wanted: 1 Avus 18" Alloy Wheel
It seems I have a crack in the centre of my wheel so I need a replacement alloy - condition isn't important,

Anyone?

Have you got a matching spare?
If so, use that and buy something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A8-QU...-/250945965683

Depending on damage it might be repairable. Most of the welding repair jobs on wheels around here are done around £60 mark

You are right, but the crack is in the hub and I'm not sure that can be repaired at a reasonable price.

It's a good buy, but if it's for a post-facelift S8, and he has a puncture on the front, he'll have to change two wheels - swap the rear to the front, and fit the A8 Sport to the rear.

The A8 Sport wheels don't fit over Brembos.

Thanks Nollywood and HPSauce: I'll see if Singh can empty his garage out.

Just out of interest "cla" do you have Brembos?
IIRC the members list says you have a 2002 S8.
