Title: Where to buy 19" A8/RS8 replica wheels?
Post by: CitizenKane on 01 April 2016, 00:53

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend somewhere that might sell 19" replica A8/RS8 wheels to fit a Mk4 Golf?

I'm based in Ireland but happy to order from the UK. There is only one place in Ireland I've found that sells 18" A8 reps, but not 19"   :huh:

Thanks!

Do you not think I tried Google already? I can't find anywhere that sells them, at the right size and with the right fitment. That's why I'm asking here if anybody knows of anywhere

Do you have a pics of what wheels you actually mean? A lot of People wrongly call the A8 wheels the RS8 wheels

The RS8 isn't even in production yet either which doesn't help the search...

Yep, this is what I'm after:

I thought these were A8 wheels but have seen them referred to as RS8 before so just mentioned that too!

They look pretty similar to these which is the second link in the search I posted  https://www.gumtree.com/p/wheel-rims-tyres/audi-rs8-19in-alloys-swaps/1163650989

Cheers. That's them alright, but I suppose I should've said I'm happy to order from a shop or supplier in the UK, but not a private seller (I'm not going to transfer money to somebody without seeing the product in real life!).

I'm surprised at how hard it is to find these now, but maybe it's just the case that nobody makes replicas of these wheels anymore?

I think that's the exact reason. These or the RS6 replica 5 spoke wheels were done to death about 8-10 years ago :)

Yes, I'm a bit slow on the uptake it seems!  :grin:

Seriously though, I'm in the market for some new wheels and I haven't been able to find anything that I think come close to how good these A8s look, despite being done to death!
