I have mixed feelings about the new A8 but I think this one looks clean. Wheels really suit the car IMO.

Looks pretty good, all things considered cuz I'm not a fan of the A8 exterior :P

Sylon · 02-17-2012, 09:28 AM

Looks really good, wheels fit the look nicely.

Red Bread · 02-17-2012, 09:38 AM

Wheels look very similar to the stock A8 wheels and have a little bit of the E34 M5 "whitewall" thing going on, but do look really good and don't have that stupid plastic spyder covering the stock lug nuts. But I do agree that for an A8, that one does look better than most.

The problem I have with the A8 is that it looks too similar to the A4 from the rear. Also, the headlights look weird. Everything else including the side profile I like. It's a subtle car and sometimes its good to go for something different. I see so many F01 7 series around here everyday.

Agreed, but the XJ, Maserati or budget be damned Aston all seem much more interesting. And those headlights are terrible, I agree.

Those wheels are at home on the A8. Great match.

This. I would take the XJ over the 7, S and A8. So much more presence on the road and less common. I don't think the XJ looks good in pics but when you see it on the road it makes sense. Interior = win.

This is what I've been saying since I sat in one a year or two ago. Love the hell outta that thing.

These wheels are almost OEM in style...very fitting.

Still polishing a bland turd though. The previous A8 had a more distinct prestige about it. This just looks like a King-Size A4.

Raja Ventureshield · 02-20-2012, 02:03 PM

beautiful wheels. love it.

justinnum1 · 02-20-2012, 02:15 PM

i like the design, dont know if im feeling the middle circle indentations tho

MR///M3 · 02-20-2012, 02:34 PM

Very OEM+. I like it alot, jus the wheels may be a tad too large.

Such a perfect match...Everything about that A8 is right.
