No, there was a $800 financing incentive during the holiday event, that ended Jan 3.

Now there is a $750 'conquest' campaign to get BMW/MB/Lexus owners over... but the TTS isn't included in that. But I may have suggested to my SA that they should grant me a similar deal not to go for an M2. :-)

Nice Yeah, the TTS seems to be specifically excluded from a lot of the discount programs. I was particularly strapped, negotiation wise, because of the ED, but I had a blast so no regrets.

I have an option from the dealer to pick up an extra set of wheels at a really good price. The top picture is apparently from an A6 with 52 offset, and the bottom from an A4 with 40 offset. Obviously the A6 ET52 offset works better, but the A4 are at least titanium (which matches better). I don't see these a6 wheels on Audi.com these days, maybe they are a year or two old... Of course, they would check fitment.

I'd go for the A4's but the offset likely wouldn't work.

I am just wonder what those A6's are... Anyone recognize them? Shame they aren't a little bit titanium. And whether they would work on the car. These wheels would be used with DWS for 50%-75% of the year when it isn't completely dry and sunny.

Where's the link to that Website that kind soul put together with all the Audi wheels?

Bingo... found it. Wonder how these would look on a TTS. (Assuming they fit)

They look a little busy to me...

Here's that website I was looking for.. Audi OEM Wheels

Beautiful TTS !!
does this work for Canadians?

Last time I checked Canada was still in North America. Most dealers honor, but not all. Check first.

There was also an Audi Loyalty incentive available to me at the time but 'tis a transient thing.

The less-busy A4 rims look nice. Why do you not think they would work? Again, I am utilizing my former A5/allroad Rial similar-to-OEM-construction rims in Winter (34mm positive offset) and as long as the spokes clear the large front calipers ....

Yes, I'll ask them to investigate the A4's... When I did the compare on the wheel/tire compare tool, it looked like there is a fair amount less clearance. But, your point is right and I'll take a look.

The dealer is also pricing out a set of Hartmann HRS6-091-MA:M's. I guess they carry them. They would be 19" and I'd get them to mount DWS's. A little more spendy than the A4's, but a LOT more what I was looking for.

Size Bolt Pattern ET Center Bore Stock Level Additional Information Price
19x8.50 5x112 +47 66.56 In Stock Matte Anthracite : Machined Face $310.00
