As title looking for a set of Audi A8 winter wheels. 

The sets I have seen about for sale are going for silly money.

Cheers chipster2407 . I've had a look but there's only two sets in the UK and both are a bit expensive.  :(

People do seem to want a lot for them.

I didn't want any that had the stud pattern welded.

There is a lad on Facebook who was/is selling a set with tyres for about £400 but when I asked he admitted two had two one inch repairs welded up, so that was a no go for me.

£400 with tyres seems about right mk1daz but not with damage lol. 

Was considering having them redrilled to 4x100 rather than run adapters but still reading up on it. Seems some say it's fine others say not. Any experience of re drilling wheels?

No just don't like the idea of it, maybe if the other holes had been welded up but on some I've seen them left 😳

Ive had a set on my mk1 for a while now. Ive gad them redrilled and plugged and they have been fine. The only issue i had was when the blokes welded them up it distorted the centre bore slightly and wen i went to put them on my car they wudnt fit. After a bit of research i found that this can happen so rang them up and told them and they sorted the centre bore out back to how it shud be and theyve been perfect ever since

I know some ppl say that that its a bit iffy with welding them up and redrilling but from my experience with these they work fine

Thanks chipster2407 for the info. Much appreciated mate. 

How much didn't cost you to have the wheels redrilled if you don't mind me asking. Can't seem to find anyone local to me advertising their services.

Not a problem mate. It was around £50 a wheel i was quoted but wen they gave me the bill it was a little bit more. 

Wen i bought my wheels i paid 600 for them which i considered cheap cuz they were polished to a really good standard and the inserts were painted red plus the 240 ish for the wheels to be welded and then cuz the wheels arent a common width wheel the tyres i found were a bit more than usual. But cuz my old mans in the trade he got me them a bit cheap i think i paid around 200ish for all 4 wheels so ice paid around 1100 ish mark for them to get where they are now but im considering getting them re polished cuz i havnt really been keeping ontop of the polished finish as i shud lol

Hope that helps buddy
