A good 90% of everyone who wants to tune their car comes up with the idea of installing a new set of alloy wheels. Even before an increase in performance by means of chip tuning or lowering, new alloy wheels are statistically the most popular tuning utensil. Understandable because the standard rims are often not necessarily ugly but very much trimmed to mainstream optics and of course not very individual. What could be more obvious than looking around on the Schmidt rims shelf to see if there is a fancy alternative to the factory-installed wheelset? The owner of this elegant Audi A8 sedan did just that and swapped the standard rims for a 21 inch Schmidt rims wheel set in matt black.
Details about the Audi A8
If you take a closer look at the rim selection from Schmidt Felgen, we will understand why! Schmidt stands first and foremost for quality, there is also an appealing selection of different designs and, as you can see, there was something suitable for the A8. Of course we would like to show you the whole thing with pictures and have therefore decided to introduce the car to you. In addition to the visually appealing and well-fitting alloy wheels, the black A8 has received a few other modifications that we are only known from the photos, unfortunately we have not yet had any technical information.
No matter the main focus of the car is clearly on the already mentioned 21 inch wheelset which, as already mentioned, certainly does not miss the standard rims and is an absolute asset to the A8. I think the car immediately looks more dynamic and sporty, which can never be wrong. We took a closer look at the car and made a few comparisons with the production version and were able to determine one or the other change to the aluminum. What we have learned directly from the tuner KBR Motorsport and have recognized ourselves, we provide you in a summary as usual below. Should you notice any further changes, we would be happy if you post them in the "comment box", we will then add them to the post as soon as possible.
Ps. If you have more tuned vehicles like this one Audi A6 C7 Avant with ABT alloy wheels or even one Porsche 911 Carrera 4 with H&R chassis from KBR Motorsport just click on the name of the tuner next to the photo hint (below the picture)!
