Should I buy a set of 18" Swings I found for the A4? I've never actually seen them on one before.

Yes, but why were they powdercoated if they were never used?

Default Good question that I will ask. Although they do look like they are actually a different color...
from original. Maybe someone wanted a different color?

I think they are OE. Came on A8 in Europe IIRC.

Default OE, originally sold for the old S8.
They were in the Audi Accessory Cataloge until about 2002 I think. I have heard anywhere from $400 - $569 each back then.
