By the way that price includes tyres???

[gareth_oau]

that seems right for a non genuine with (el-cheapo) "performance tyres.

I'd be asking him which tyres, and also see if you can see the rim to check out the build-quality

[badgerboards]

ive bought previous wheels off them. they will most probably come with the cheapo tyre as most wheel packages like that come with unless you pay extra for better tyres. they are quite good in replying to questions. they were for me but it was a couple years ago but.

[Scouser]

I sent him an email as they say they are Audi wheels and the Genuine ones have an offset of 35 which is what I want.
All I did was ask what the offset was as I want to fit them to a T4, all his reply was " Wont fit"

Nothing else just Wont fit, no hi no thanks nothing??

So anyone know where I can get some chaep A8 wheels from ????

Dave

[Buller_Scott]

do you mean, to fit to a T4?

the A8 genuines and reps will likely be either 5x100 or 5x112 stud pattern, i think the T4 is 5x130 or something?

finding A8 genuines/ reps for a T4 might prove tricky.....

[team_v]

Apparently the T4 runs a 5x112 bolt pattern so anything from the mk5/6 golf, tiguan and most audi wheels from the newer cars will fit.
Volkswagen T4 = 5 x 112 ET35 - ET40 Cb 57.0

I think the A8 wheels are 5x100 as they are generally used on the mk4 golf/bora which is the same.

So according to the ebay listing in the OP they will fit a T4 then ...

Wheels:

A8 Polished with Black Inside
PCD: 5 stud 5x100 or 5x112 (Fit for various cars!)

Strange they said they won't fit?

prettty sure factory/genuine wheels wouldn't be multistud drilled....

and frankly if he claims that they're the 'fitment experts' and doesn't know or can't find out that a T4 is 5x112, I wouldn't bother.

and he has spelling errors in his ad. You're a profession company, check your grammer!

if you want to see if they're genuine, as for the pic of the audi badges stamped into the back of the wheels!

LOL Jarred - grammAr

if you want to be a spelling/grammar nazi, don't do it with your pants around your ankles

[Jarred]

[VWEAPN]

i will be pulling off my a8's 19" this weekend off my mk4. replicas. if your interested 5 x 100

[Scouser]

Thanks but I need 5x112

I'd be worried about the weight of the aftermarket wheels. The tyres are generally crap although you can normally pay more for a reasonable tyre or request something cheap but decent is fitted (EG Kuhmo 31's).

Personally I'd keep an eye on ebay.
