Default Don't think you can get replica's, you'll need the real thing if looking for 18's......

They're different than the ones that the American S8's came with. I agree that they look great on a UR car but unless you can find a set for sale in Europe it's gonna be expensive. I think Blau or 2-Bennet can get you a set last time I checked.

Default Nope, NA S8's had an 18 inch version of the B5 S4's.....the Ronin car.....

has the "euro" S8 wheels which look more like the C4 S6's Avus.

Default Maybe the early S8's got the early S6 style wheels and newer got the new B5 Style Avus?
