You're asking quite some hefty prices given this is a forum to help fellow members. Drop your AMI to around $350-400 and GL selling the wheels for $2500?

I was vaguely looking for a set as I think they’re the best looking wheel option (original RS style) for the D3; but not when they’re between 20-60% of the vast majority of present day D3’s realistic trade-in values.

Thank you for the feedback. I do not have a very good grasp of the market for these items, hence the obo. I will adjust the asking prices in an attempt to get more realistic.
The OEM W12 wheels are rare and there are 5 of them. That being said, I understand dvs_dave's view. dvs_dave, if you are vaguely interested, shoot me a PM and we can work on a price. They are sitting in factory boxes in my garage and taking up space.
I truly appreciate your comments!

I appreciate the offer, but for me a set of 5 new wheels, tyres and TMPS sensors would still end up being over 50% what the car is worth....and it'll still be a 14yr old A8, just with some nicer wheels. 
You might get some bites on here, but unlikely unless significantly cheaper for the reasons given. It’s a big investment proportionally for any D3 owner now.
I think you’d be better off on the VW Vortex side of things. Those guys go nuts for big top end OEM Audi wheels to shoehorn under their “stanced” Jettas.

Thank you dvs_dave. I appreciate your perspective and it makes sense. I may pop over to VW Vortex to see what the temperature is like over there. If there's not much love, these wheels will be here later and I wouldn't be offended by any offers.

TSHong, these wheels do look great on the D3 body. With roughly 400 W12s coming to the States, I enjoyed having an OEM wheel that made my S8 unique. I think I saw these only once over the past four years.

Those wheels were actually very popular with the european D2 crowd back in the day. I've always liked the look of those over the twin 7 spokes. The polished twin 7s have really grown on me and will put those back on my car some
