The 3dr doesn't actually look much different It's a lot more of a subtle increase than some of the others

Any rich people want to make a small profit for a lot of effort

Stick a post in the EsCoss room mate, see how many names you can get and hopefully someone whos feeling flush might have faith and give it a go. I recon most of the companys who advertise in FF and PF would stock them, so they'd reach a bigger market...

Last year I seriously considered machining several sets of 18" billet Escos style rims but decided against it due to the amount of money it would cost per wheel. Doing them isnt a problem in the slightest, in fact they are quite an easy machining job .... doing them for a price which the market will support is a problem, as such unless someone who has more money than sense or someone who is just trying to loose money comes along I guarantee no one will ever get them manufactured --- as far as I can see the market is too small to ever make them viable.

The problem is a majority of people just do not understand the amount of time, money and effort required in getting a product, even a simple one to the market place .... and to risk an investment of that size for practically no return, well it just isn't going to happen.

Agreed

The only way is possible is image who can make you old style wheels into a split rim but u may only be able to go up a few sizes

I couldnt resist digging up this thread
Audi very kindly used the same design wheels as my S2 original ones on the early S8.
So after a long search, I finally found some

Original 16"


S8 18"
