I like the looks but personally would not put 22s on my car.
Negatively affects the ride, handling and performance as the unsprung weight is increased significantly.
I plan the opposite, going to 20s CF to improve all of the above without even touching the ECU.

Exam, the wheels are beautiful! I should have my (new to me) 2014 A8L next week. The color of these wheels are perfect.
-Can you reply with the exact model/size of the wheels?
-VCDS lowering, How much lower did you go? I've read all the lowering instructions for the S6, is there one specifically for the A8L.

I didnt need to mess with any setting within VCDS, I changed the ride to dynamic mode and it took care of everything by itself.

My wheels are 22's , Im gonna look on my car tonight for size of tires...

I'm still looking into these wheels, although I may go 21 inch. Did you get a size for the 22's? I'd like to reach out to BD for pricing and sizing.

Thanks!
