Default is anyone using the replica 5 spoke audi wheels in 17 inch size?
Discount Tire has the replica of the 16 inch audi 5 spoke wheel in 15, 16 and 17 inch sizes. I was thinking it would be really nice to get 17 inch replicas of those wheels. They'd match the car perfectly. Does anyone have experience with them? Also does anyone know of a place with 17inch replicas of the audi 7 spoke 16" sport wheels?
Thanks

Why not just get the A8 5 spoke wheels?

i've seen pics of the 17" replica 5 spokers on someone's A4 here on AW. i've also seen them on a Passat and i think it looks REALLY good. as for the sport wheels, Audi used to offer a larger size as an accessory. i saw it in a wheel options brochure i picked up from the dealer but i don't have it anymore. check with them.

Default Hey Eric, did you replace your RE730's?
I'm thinking about Pirelli PZero Rosso's
