If you decide not to use them on the r8 and want to get rid of them I would be interested for my wife's s5 Cab. Let me know - Thanks

I know the R8 uses the Gallardo bolt pattern (wheels are interchangable when used with slightly different lugs), but I believe this bolt pattern is different than normal Audis.

Actually the bolt pattern is the same. The R8/Gallardo has the same Audi bolt pattern.

The difference is the offsets. The S5 wheels will not properly fit on R8/Gallardo.

If you have any further questions, let me know.
