Default Spare Wheel/Tire for S Lines

Anyone with an S Line, correct me if I'm wrong - Did your car come with the matching gmbH wheel/tire for your spare?

Anyone ever experience a dealer or service department swap that spare out for a base model wheel/tire?

That's what I thought.

I bought my A4 through a good friend who is an Audi dealer in AZ, the car was located/shipped to WA (brand new) from Keyes Audi in Van Nuys, CA, and just discovered the other day my spare was replaced by a 16" base wheel/tire.

I guess out-of-state buyers beware...

Default You got jacked@@@- Dealer probably swapped for another new car that -

got curbed on a test drive. - I would call them- it should say right on the window sticker matching full sized alloy wheel, - also with Quattro you should not mix and match wheel sizes.

call your dealer.

haha! I'm not the only one! My dealer (Sutherland Auto in Rochster, NY) swiped mine, but I had looked at the spare when I first checked the care out on the lot. Then when I picked it up and took it home I didn't check. A week or so later I looked in the trunk and bam, a 15" steel wheel off some passat or something.

The dealer eventually gave me my proper wheel back, but it was a shady move.
