FWIW, my dealer quoted me $310/wheel. Not terrible.

Default holy smokes! who is your dealer? mine quoted me $519 per wheel

and supposedly, there's an 18x8.5 5-spoke "winter wheel" with ET24 for the RS4 but it's even more: $649

I think I'm going to order a set from your dealer and have it shipped.

Default I take that back, the $519 price was for a titanium finish version of our 19x9 oem's...

and the silver finish is $339. So sparkhill you're right, not a bad price at all.

Ask if they'll price match $310 - that is how I was able to get them down from the $399 list price

Default Apparently so. It's in their system and my dealer said he could have it for me in about a week....

but I passed. Titanium is nice but I can get the same effect if I brake aggresively and not clean my wheels for a while =P

Also, if I'm going to get a second set of the same wheels, it might as well be the same finish just in case I accidentally trash one or two of the originals then I can swap clean ones into the other set.

It would've been nice if we had the option for titanium wheels in the ordering system to begin with, so those who so desired could've had them.
