Default Rolling extortion

is it just me or is the A!Avantgarde waaaaay overpriced for a simple, one-piece cast painted six-spoke wheel?? They're great looking (and I want them), but not for $450-$500 each.

For the price you could get the ultra light BBS wheels.

Default Appreciate the photo, but...

that wheel has been out at least 5 years (maybe longer) and it just doesn't look as good. Also considering the OZ F1s, but the Tire Rack doesn't list it as being available for '00 A4s. What to do...

Default If you can't find a suitable alternative, then the A! price is indeed "fair"

Econ 101...
Is a Porsche 911 Turbo *really* worth $100K+?!

Save up for what you really want! Or make a compromise.

Maybe look in the classifieds for used set.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=161"</a><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/a4registrydl.jpg" BORDER=0></a>

Default SOS...looking for....

a 6-spoke painted wheel with a really strong look with smooth lines. If anyone has pics of their favorites I'd love to see them. Not really interested in split or thin spokes though. THANKS!
