I'm looking S8 wheels. I found these two sites:
http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com.../web_store.cgi (refinished)
http://www.finishlinewheels.com/AUDI/S8/2009/ (OEM)

Never bought from these places. Are they good places to buy wheels?

All of the wheels at Finish Line look like they are made in China.

Personally, I wouldn't put Chinese wheels on *my* Audi.

Hey guys Im new to the forum... I have an 2004 A6 2.7t S line. It has the stock 17 inch S line wheels and I just bought the 19 inch A8 wheels. Unfortunately they do not fit on the front only the back. I wasn't sure if wheel spacers would help?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not an expert, but I think that the A8 has larger wheel wells. It is also possible that your suspension has been lowered.
