That's my color, and seeing those wheels on it pretty much cinches my thought that I need to replace the stock P+ 10 spokers. Have no idea why you'd want to double the cleaning area on a car with so much brake dust.

Those 5 spokers are sweet, and the metalflake in the DSB out in the sun is amazing. Get a California Car Duster if you don't already have one, though--that color is a dust magnifier.

The car's beautiful. I love the color combo, but why don't you like the sport package 18's??? I just got my car Monday (Premium +, sport, tip., blk, blk) and I LOVE the wheels.

I noticed you couldn't build an Audi online w/ the 5 spoke 18's, yet my dealer had them all over his lot on non-sport pkg. cars, and they were listed as an $800 dollar option on the window sticker.

They do TRANSFORM the car from the standard 17's on the prem. + however.

How's the B & O sound system?

Thanks Redherring! I don't have a duster yet. I'll definitely pick one up. I've only had the car a few days and the wheels are getting dirty quick. Spent about an hour tonight getting them all shined up again. Anyone tried the new Armour All Wheel Protectant? Looks like it might help make cleaning a bit easier.

BTW - Before I the dealer agreed to replace my wheels I did a ton of research anticipating that I'd replace them on my own. Found them for $180 each here:

Thanks kubica! It’s not that I don’t like the sport pkg 18’s, I do and I agonized over the decision to swap them. I have always liked the simple 5 spoke design though (goes back to my Crager SS days). Now that I finally see them on the car I’m really happy with the look.
Yep, I asked the dealer to add the 5 spokes when I built the car…but they said “not possible”. Apparently, they are only available on the Prestige pkg. So they agreed to swap them for me upon delivery!

Hi victoorious –
So far the B&O system is AWESOME. I am not an audiophile but I sure can tell the difference compared to other stereos I’ve listened to. The sound is crisp, clear, plenty of bass with no distortion that I can discern. My only question so far, is that I cannot seem to adjust the audio (bass, treble, DSP, etc) when I am using the integrated Bluetooth. Sometimes the incoming call audio is pretty ‘tinny’ and I’d like to pull out some treble but I have not been able to figure out how to do so…
