These are the genuine S8 wheels 20" on 275 35 20 Continental sports.

I'm very pleased with them :-)

My girlfriend's neighbor has a facelifted A8 with the newer taillights and the same wheels. I get so damn conflicted every time I drive past their house - the taillights and wheels look great, but my '05 split grille appeals more to me than the facelift.

All in all, solid purchase!

+1! I love the split front fascia. Really disticntive IMO vs. blending in with all the newer Audis.

Me too, but I think when you swap them out like a few people did here (no offense) it is 1. very pricey, 2. a pita to wire. and 3. takes away from the original character of the car. That is how I identify from behind at least, what model year the A8 I'm following or seeing is. By either the tail lights, or after i pass them by the front grille.
