I agree with everyone above. Skip the reps and buy second hand or from a place that refurbs OEM.
Check your local craigslist - you can often find good deals.

I kicked around the idea of getting a winter wheel set up. I could pick up set of 17" double spoke A4 rims for $80 a piece including center caps from a local scrap yard, and get them refinished by an Audi dealer, back to an OEM look, for $100 per rim.
A little more expensive then other options, but rims would be true/straight, would look brand new and are genuine Audi rims.
Good luck.

I am running 17" A6 BBS wheels and they are super tight over the S8 brakes, you might need spacers depending on the wheel design and offset. Wheel weights have to be stuck on inboard of the brake rotor path. 18's look better but oh man they are harsh over the potholes around here.
