These are aftermarket wheels that list the A8 as one of the applications.

These wheels will be going on my Tri-Star when it arrives in December, just
need some longer wheel studs installed on it before I can put the wheels on.

Hi David,
If you Audi A8 wheels are "real" then they should have a VW/Audi part number
cast into them some where. (probably near the center beside the lug nut
holes) If they are "real" Audi A8 wheels then the dealer could tell you the
part number for the stock bolts or nuts.  Once you have a nut or a bolt in
your hand you could tell what seat they will fit.
The other solution is to get the fasteners you want and have a wheel shop or
machine shop modify the rims to fit the fasteners.
