[s-cars] S8 wheels -

[DOUGLAS LANDAETA]

Taka,

Thank you. I thought they were not "real RS4" wheels. I will measure
them and clear this up - you are probably right though. I'm just
learning the details. Maybe I'll throw one in the boot and have Bob
Pastore take a look next week.

Good thing is I don't have to make any wheel/tire decisions for awhile.
I do need to be sure that whatever brakes I upgrade into will fit both
these wheels and the Ronal 16" that the Nokians are on. I really
shouldn't post with such little sleep ;->

Doug
