Default RIMS? What to buy??

Does anyone know if these rims are any good and the price?

http://www.aewheel.com/msr/wheels_detail.cfm?id=282

Otherwise, I am looking for some alloy rims. Any ideas or suggestions?

American Eagle are good rims. I actually didn't know they made any tuner rims. All I've ever seen from them are off-road rims and classic car rims. For these applications however their wheels are good and I assume their tuner wheels are the same quality. I like these wheels, I'm a sucker for 5 spokes. Check out discounttiredirect.com they have a pretty good selection. I like several of the TSW wheels. Good luck with your decision.

American racing makes like 1 or 2 5x112 wheels... and they are absolutely hideous! I get 40% off american racing and its affiliates (thats below dealer cost!) and I STILL wont buy them.

If you want budget wheels, check www.woodandwheels.com or www.coolwheels.com or our sites sponsor www.buywheelstoday.com though they're setup of their website is AWFUL... fiddle around with the different models and years and engines of late model audi's... unti you find one where they stock wheels for it... although the wheels are the bloody same throughout (or at least offset and bolt pattern is)

Quick question.... are the Audi A8 18" stock tires standard 18 x 8?? I have some old A8 performance tires (18"), and need some rims to fit them.
