Default 2016 Wheel options

Taking the plunge and ordering a 2016 A7. Coming from the cushy ride of a lexus so I am opting out of the sport package, but I dislike the look of the current base wheels.

Looking at the ordering guide, it looks like the wheel options will be different in 2016:

Base wheels will be 19" 5 spoke V design wheels. If these are similar to the 5 spoke V wheels that are a current optional accessory that will be awesome.

Gone is the ever-present 20" parallel 10 spoke wheels, replaced by:
20" Wheel Package: bi-color, 5-spoke W design, contrasting gray, partly polished wheels with 265/35 all season tires.

Anywhere I can find pictures?

Think I found the W design wheels on the web, but wanted to confirm the V design base wheels if someone can post. I tried to post a pic and it said there was a problem adding an album. Is this a common problem?

If you go to Home < Audi and try to build an A7 you will see what the 20" wheel you are looking at looks like when you select the wheels. The UK site already has the 2016 model on there. Good luck!

There are a number of 19"5-spoke V-design wheels on that website. I think it is this one:




If anyone can confirm, I would love to know before ordering.

Default 2016 A7 with 19 inch standard wheels.

See attached picture.

These are the standard 19 inch rims according to UK with the same design description.

This is the floret silver metallic which is slightly lighter than tornado grey.

Not a fan. Doesn't match the clean lines of the car well. Even though I got rid of my 10 spoke standard 19" wheels that came with the car, I like these less. I did get complements on the original wheels and liked them but not nearly as much as the peelers, which, in my opinion, are a great aesthetic match.

I like the way this looks. Not a fan of the overly busy W wheels that come with the 20's, but everyone will have deferring options. What is a "peeler"?
