Wheel question from a S8 in a movie?

[rambo64]

Can someone tell me what wheels are on the S8 in the movie " Next Day Air ".

i think they are Vellano wheels not sure about maybe the VSO model not sure tho..

I think you might be right. Just saw this on their site. But I think the one's from the movie pic are polished/black. Thanks.

Next Question? What size tires will fit without rubbing in 22 inch staggered. 22x10 front 22x10.5 rear?

Now I'm not sure about the wheels being Vellano's. Looking at the center hub they look to be embedded a little. Like these Dub X180's but the spokes on the 180's don't seem to taper toward the outer rim as the picture from the movie does.

look like Sportec's to me

These doesn't look the same. The one's in the above photo look flatter and have a inside lip with rivets.

Suprised no one else has chimed in yet. I guess nobody knows. Here is a separate question, has anyone had experience with the Forgiato wheels? Are they well built and light in weight? I'm considering the Concavo's. What about 22" wheels on the A8? Any problems with rubbing or messing up the suspension?

if you want to go with 22s you should get them with a 9.5 inches width and a offset of 35 anything past that will rub so you might have to pull out your fenders

X2...that is what I recently installed with 255/30/22's and no problems whatsoever so far...coming from the 255/40/19's the ride quality is similar with the exception of major bumps/pot holes. Keep in mind I did not lower my car as low as the one in the pic. The ride is just as smooth and actually received compliments on the ride quality with the 22's...I personally do not like the rivets. I guess that is why I stayed away from the 3 piece rims.

Got any pics of your car? I would like to see the difference in the lowering. I thought that maybe the cars in pics were stock with just the + size wheels. Above some stated to go with 295/25/22 size tires. If the 30's will fit I would prefer them. What name brand tire did you purchase and how are they as far as wear and ride? I have never went up to 22's before. Thanks for chiming in though I appreciate it. Any idea of what tires are on the car on the first pic?

sorry if you go with 295/25/22 you would have to pull your fenders i personally talked to the owner of that a8 over the phone 265/30/22 would fit without rubbing

Great thanks for the update. I wouldn't want to get some tires from Tire Rack and then they don't fit.
