the wheel's Phil is looking at have a deeper concave in the center i believe. But I can be wrong, I have been before.

The picture ObnoxiousDrunk posted is the Fat-Fives off the D2 A8 in 18's.

The one that Phil posted actually came on some TT's and some C5 A6's. They look pretty similar but 17's in size.




Speaking of wheels on A6:


Me likey!

the a8 five spoke wheels are normally called flat fives or euro a8's. I dunno why. people call them fat fives too some times. they are 18x8.5, the 17x8 fat fives are the same off a tt or a6 beside the bolt pattern

Yup, the TT has different bolt pattern than the A4/A6 (at least the Mark I did).

The bolt patterns were different but they were just the same style.
