I've been looking at wheel options as I keep my summer and winter tires mounted on different wheels. I had a couple of questions:
1) Does anyone know the offset on the standard wheels?
2) Does anyone have a recommendation on a supplier who could import the UK wheels pictured below?

The 7.5Jx18" wheel has an offset of ET29.
Perhaps adg44's point was the wheel you showed is the S line wheel from the A4/S4 sedan and Avant, and has an ET40 offset. It will not fit.
Hartman has some really nice looking wheels. Post back when you make your selection and let us see how they look.
Will do, probably going to spend the Cleveland winter on the stock 18s and might go aftermarket 19s in the spring. Maybe with some springs to lower it a bit if there are options for that by then.

Thanks for the information.
The wrong picture was my bad - I got distracted and inserted the regular Avant wheel instead of the two allroad wheels that the UK gets but aren't available in the US (inserted below). I probably got distracted drooling over the S4 Avant that we also don't get .

Any suggestions on sourcing? I doubt the folks who I used to get my parts for my Daimler SP 260 will be of much use with new Audi wheels.
Those top wheels are available as an accessory wheel (winter fitment), so should be widely available eventually. It's all a bit new at the moment. The part number is Z8W9073218 8Z8. That is the part number for the set of four, mounted with tyres. Michelin PA4 amazingly.
They may, or may not sell them as a wheel alone. Audi are inconsistent on that.
You are more likely to be able to source them from Germany than the UK. There are some big part sellers on eBay, and they do ship internationally. Perhaps try a forum search. I would ask Audi of America's parts division if they plan on bringing them in. That may be cheaper. It seems ridiculous to only have one wheel available for the Allroad in the US.
The bottom wheel is an option wheel only; it doesn't seem available as an accessory wheel. Will make it harder to find. Don't know the ET, but if not the same, likely to be a slightly higher positive offset than lower due to the increased wheel width.
