Similar, not quite the same.Steve,
I think I'm correct in saying that these are the wheels that @greywolfhound, @Menno and @Erlingtheyounger are running on their A2's.
They do look great.
Kind regards,
Tom

Yes correct either Adapters or re-drill in between existing holes ..?Steve,

When I say ‘these’ I mean this style!
I used adapters 15mm thick from memory which also helps with off set and tyres stay within arch using 205 50 16 tyres I occasionally remove wheels to cq torque adapters but they are held in place with wheels they can’t fall off ?..just peace of mindWhen I say ‘these’ I mean this style!
Thanks - I think they come with adaptors Steve

Need to consider the offset though Steve. Hub centric adapters are likely to be at least 15mm.
5x112 Audis tend to run an offer between 45-52, so a 15mm adapter would take that down to between et30 and 37 which is great on an A2
You can buy new wheels with various bolt pcd options there from the factory ..the option of re drilling for 110 pcd on the A8 wheels leaves plenty of meat around every hole ..so I beg to differ IMHO..as per factory rim here shown ..and an A8 re drilled..although I preferred the option of wheel adapters and that’s the way I went .Redrilling alloys between the existing holes? There is insufficient material there to support the seating of the wheel bolts, so it's a good way to end up in a nasty RTA of your own making kids.
Use adaptors at a push, or find wheels that fit.
Imho.
It's 100 pcd not 110 but I know you know that, probably just a typo but just wanted to clarify in case someone else didn't ?You can buy new wheels with various bolt pcd options there from the factory ..the option of re drilling for 110 pcd on the A8 wheels leaves plenty of meat around every hole ..so I beg to differ IMHO..as per factory rim here shown ..and an A8 re drilled..although I preferred the option of wheel adapters and that’s the way I went .
Lovely looking wheel ...but gosh not a lot of metal in between those bolt holes ..I rest my case .
Jig boring eh? They should have been good to better than a thou then, more like 0.0001"I was speaking on these particular forged alloys no recess or different material thickness Menno has done his sets he’s an aircraft engineer as was i I agree depends on the wheel but in this particular case I and others think it ok ..I’m not saying an insurance company would agree but that’s another argument ..I did have a set re drilled but the holes where not just as you put it banged through they done on a jig borer ..Accurate to within .001”..? coolant used so no excess heat generated .
