Default I remember seeing a couple photos of S8 wheels on A8L's. Looks great! also...

Default Here's my "before" and "after"

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/68062/17vs18.jpg"></center><p>I have a MY 2000 A8 that used to have 17's and now has 18-in S8 wheels. I think it's a subtle but definite improvement.

Default Here's my business partner's 98 with S8 wheels and stock suspension

His car looks great with them on.

Center caps are "borrowed" from the TT!
