What is the market like for OEM sport pack wheels?
How much are they selling for? I've seen the eBay & AudiWorld listings, but I'd like to know what they're actually selling for. If someone wanted to <b>sell his or her wheels to me</b>, he or she should probably email me on <a href="mailto:frostytim@earthlink.net">frostytim@ea rthlink.net</a>. Not that I'd waste any forum bandwidth on this blatant WTB.

Yeah that is really expensive look around and you'll find a great deal. Thats what I am waiting for.
Dustin A4, and Avant XP would try to hit you with sales tax if you buy from them. Just look around and you will find a great deal.

And you will continue to wait.
When the rims first came out they were selling for $1800 for 5. I agree that is high. But I highly doubt that you will find a set of 5 wheels/new tires for $900 bucks. I have watched them exchange hands many times on this site and the 900 dollar deals are usually 4 wheels and tires with quite a few miles on them. And when people say 5K it is usually 10K.
Most people that want them are willing to pay $250-300 each - it's not that expensive. The tires alone cost $175 each. So $100 bucks for the rim is dirt cheap.
Most people that can afford an A4 don't care about an extra couple hundred of bucks. Time is money - so the effort spent in trying to save a few hundred bucks is just not worth it. You have let a few set go by and you still don't have them.
My guess is that you really don't want them all that bad and you just want a good deal. I don't blame you for wanting a cheap set. And if I had not sold mine for $1500 I would have sold them to the next lowest bidder at $1350, or to the many others I had in the $1200 range.
