Where to buy all weather floor mats?

I have both the Audi mats and the Weathertech floor liners and highly recommend Weathertech's product. There is nothing wrong the quality of the Audi mats, but the design is not optimal if you will be tracking a lot of snow into the car; the flat design does not confine the water left behind from melted snow, allowing it to escape and collect under the front seats. After a winter using the Audi mats, I had to spend part of a day removing the dried salt from the carpet under and behind the driver's seat. The Weathertech mats have a raised lip on all edges that does a much better job of confining melted snow.

Weathertechs do appear to be well recommended. I guess it all depends on the part of the country the car will be used.
I don't see paying that much more for Weathertechs if you're in Florida, S. Cal or other regions where there is no/very little snow.
And even though I live in a snowy region, (Hudson Valley, N.Y.) the S5 will likely not see much snow as we have a Q5 that does well in any condition.
But rubber mats, whether from OEM Audi or weathertech is the way to go.

I always seem to rationalize the (relatively) high cost of WeatherTech mats a little differently. I just spent $66K++ on a new S5, so what's so naughty about spending $200 on a set of WeatherTech floor mats to save the carpet?

My Weathertech mats came in for my RS5. They look quite deep on the sides so much better for snow than the Audi all-weather mats that I have now. I will test fit them in the next day or so.

With winter coming, I want to protect my carpet from the inevitable crud that finds its way onto my shoes so I'm looking to get a set of all weather floor mats. I like the set from Audi with the S5 logo in the corner but I can't seem to find where to order them online. I know I can get them from my dealer but I'd rather not go that route and so far, the only thing I can find online are non-Audi brands like Weathertech. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Guys,
We offer Lloyds mats and have had nothing but great comments on them. Llyods mats are also made in USA, which we think is great.
They come in a wide variety of colors and thickness levels. They have a slip resistant backing and waterproof core for great quality.
You can check them out here:
Auto Union Parts A5 floor mats
We are currently extending free shipping to Audiworld.com members if they send me a PM before ordering.
All the best,
AUP
