Thanks guys - I called APR and they are waiting for a 2014 A8 at their shop so that it can be tuned.

I've had it for a week now and although it is still a honeymoon phase, it is such a luxurious and fast car for its size.

Only complaint… the break dust (most german cars are notorious) hope it'll get better or I'll have to buy a power washer =)

Put it this way. Would you like to stop on a dime and have brake dust or not stop correctly and have clean wheels?

Beautiful car! Congrats! Love the quilted interior. I manage a car dealership. Def go w the wheel and tire, no question. Also, the price sounds pretty reasonable. Consider the cost of each rim plus tire ect.

That's what I'm thinking as well. But since it's leased, I won't clear bra the car.

The leather feels and smells very nice - really an exceptional vehicle all around.

Congrats on your beautiful car, I love Audi's currently own a 2012 A8L with every possible option, except night vision. I did update the rims for the summer time and I'm running on a set of Vossen's 20" which are staggered. The only other option I went with was the 3M paint protecting film and a roof rack for my bikes. This car is exception in all aspects of the word, and it makes me drive like a normal human being most of the time LOL. Cheers.....🍻🍻

I would DEFINITELY go for the tire package...ugh, I'm also in New York and these roads MURDER the run flats on my car! I hit a pothole over by LaGuardia on the Grand Central that bent my rim!!!! I had to get the rim hammered out and 3 tires replaced over the summer in my SC430.

The quilted leather is SO nice. I definitely prefer these over the BMW 7 Series.

Thanks everyone. Going on my 3rd week of ownership and put on about 900 miles. (Not normal for me but I absolutely love to drive the car).

Wish they made the S8 with a LWB option... Otherwise this car is actually very quick and nimble.

Very pleased. Radar detector is a must =)
