Beautiful! Love the aggressive, yet refined look. Also like the Havanna Black---I can just make out the brownish tint in the metal flake, very nice.

Many happy miles!!!!

Ahh, we don't even get the winter tyre option as it's not so bad over here (265 40 20's) . That explains it really. They've updated the brochure here to include a few more wheel options now too.

I took a screenshot of the 21inch rims on the car from the German configurator.

They also do 20 inch rims with winter tyres, so the spec may change in the US . It's always best to keep checking what's available as they change it without telling the dealers.

Thumbs down

great wheel design no doubt, but don't understand this new policy of bringing rs wheels to regular model lines. those should have stayed rs only as they were firstly introduced for the tt-rs. saying that, rs5 should have different design as well.
this is probably my only and biggest rant against audis recently.

Beautiful car. One question: are the trunk hinges the new tube type like the B8 A4's now have or are they the more complex hydraulic cylinder multi-hinge type as in my 2010 A6? For whatever reason I feel the tube type look so cheap - VW Jetta-ish.

Shoot! I was wondering about that :-)

It's in the shop at the moment having some "MTM" magic done on it. 410hp and 930NM or torque here we come! I had the Abt rear valence and bootlip spoiler also installed plus new rear silencers and K&N air filters.

Hopefully get it back tomorrow.
