not really. only online vendor is oempl.us and they want $2800 for the set.
some people have gotten them for less through their dealership...I guess it depends on your relationship with them.

Simple Green + Meguiar's Wheel Brush
I drench the wheels in SImple Green, hit it with the Meguiar's Wheel Brush, then follow with a wash mitt.
Takes about 1 minute per wheel.
Go back with a terry cloth towel to dry/finish clean and you're golden.

Totally agree
I had 5 spoke chrome rims on my last car that took 1 minute to clean all 4 easy when I filled up. These take more than 5 minutes to wipe when I fill up and I never get them fully clean like I could the chrome rims I had. To make matters worse, they look much much better when they are clean.

It takes at least four brushes
First, inside the wheel:

2nd - Audi whell brush for inside the wheel behind the small spokes:

3rd - rotors, calipers, and in-between spokes:

lastly - Boar's hair brush for painted external surfaces (front side) of rim and spokes:

I think I got everything from Griot's Garage except the (smaller) Audi wheel brush.
