Help clarify RS5 options in U.S.
Hey guys,
Haven't posted here in a while since i got rid of my 2011 S5 last year.
I'm currently thinking of ordering a 2013 RS5 sometimes this year, or early next year.
Been doing my research but need help to clarify somethings before trying to order. My local dealers are clueless. I learned that when I got my S5 last year, thankfully I knew the packages and options and knew exactly what I wanted before walking in to order. So instead of ordering the vehicle and getting something that's not going to be 100% what I ordered, I'm turning to you guys again for help.
I'd like to order a Sepang blue, with the black alcantara seats inserts (wish I could get them in silver like i got in the S5 back in the day, but black will be fine). I'd like to get the 5-spoke titanium wheels, but with the alu-optic package because i want the silver grill/mirrors that come with the car, and the silver front and rear lips, instead of black. I don't see any way of doing this based on the ordering guide. Looks like the titanium wheels only come with the titanium package, which deletes the alu-optic package.
I don't know why Audi still hasn't added the RS5 to the audiusa site, so can't use their configurator.
Is what i'm trying to do doable in the U.S? What do you guys suggest?

Previous poster has it correct. Sepang Blue is E9E9, and alcantara seats (QH) come only in black. The titanium package (PSC) does delete the alu-optic option and is the only official way to get the titanium wheels. I've heard, though, some dealers can be talked into a titanium wheel (only) + alu-optic package for a small upcharge and case of beer. I'm thinking of seeing if I can change my RS5 order (Sepang Blue+titanium package+MMI+sports exhaust)in exactly that way.

Yea, noticed no silver alcantara. But black will do. Planning for kids soon, so black will be better anyway for when I have them in this vehicle.
Yea it seems the only way is if the dealer can get just the titanium wheels. Just looked up some pics of sepang blue, and I'm not liking the sepang blue with the alu optic. Doesn't look quite right with the bright grill. The mirrors do look nice though. So, now I'm debating between Sepang blue, and Daytona. So now I'm debating between Sepang blue+MMI+titanium(with silver mirrors)+alcantara, and Daytona Grey+MMI+alcantara+alu-optic (with titanium wheels).
Reason for considering this Daytona package:
Sepang Blue, well i'm sort of biased toward Blue already. My touareg with white interor:
Oh, and my previous S5 with the silver (though it was white) alcantara. The two tones make the interior so gorgeous:

I'm doing the same thing man..I'm trading my black on black 20122 S5 prestige out for a 2013 RS5...I 19,980 miles on it and I'm hoping to get a nice amount of money for the trade.
Good Luck with your RS5 when you get it!!
