Default Many Audi A8 @ IAA Frankfurt - new colors?

I'm not sure if these are colors new to the A8, but the Audi booth sure seems colorful.

and aren't those the new 20" wheels/option? They can keep the burnt orange but the bottom one looks like Northern Blue.

Default When are those going to come to the US. Shame that europe have had the 20" for 2 + years now

and AoA cant/wont seem to get them in here. I really want a new pair of shoes for the S8 and 20" RS4's fit the bill

Here is some facts for you guys looking at wheels give you weights of A8/S8 wheels. Click the link then chose weight by "alpha" and scroll down the A8. The S8 wheel is very heavy 27.2 lbs but funny enough the 20" RS4's are only 1.4 lbs more for 2" more and .5" more rubber on the ground.

Take a look at the link, furthermore you can see the weights of many different types from numerous manufactures.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wheelweights.net">wheelweights.net</a></li></ul>

Chuck, if the US market warranted it, I bet Audi would change their mind. I believe that with the intro of the 04 A8L and the optional 19" wheels you may see 20" wheels sometime "down the road".

Default Re: When are those going to come to the US, dealer stated he could have gotten them

at my time of delivery in early August (within a few weeks) but you can order a car with 20" wheel/tire setup now, factory direct.
