These were here the prices quoted —

20" bi-color 10 spoke wheel @ $1,150
Center cap (optional) @$120
285/45r20 All Season tire @$453.50

I've had a spare along with an OEM jack for the Audi for sale in the classified for months now. Its not OEM but I bought it from Tire Rack. Its an aftermarket 18" wheel with correct offset and an appropriate size tire that's the same diameter as the 21s on the Prestige I just sold. I placed it in the trunk with the third seat folded and only used it for long trips or when towing my enclosed trailer, I would place it in the trailer. Just to have peace of mind when traveling. If you have a Prestige with 21" wheels, you most likely do not have run-flats on your car.
