The S8 comes standard with 18" Avus wheels... (Previously, there's an
option to downgrade to 17" wheels with all-season tires. I don't know if
that's still offered.) I think I saw another quote somewhere in VW Vortex
or A4.org. So if that 17" brakes are real... Holy cow, I thought, S8 have
one of the biggest brakes in production cars!
