Default Just Orderded. Requested gunmetal wheels. Think they'll show?

I just ordered a Sprint Blue, PP, RSA for a Feb-Mar delivery. I specifically requested the gunmetal wheels. The dealer said they'd "ask". I figure if it's coming from Ingolstadt, why couldn't it?

I also asked if they would throw in a full tint and clear bra, all for MSRP. They agreed.

Not the most aggressive negotioating, but considering the same dealership charged me over $900 for the bra and tint on my Cayman, I just got an RS4 for almost $1000 less than MSRP.

Default More like "if we can find an unsold one sooner" because ...

Audi is going to keep taking RS4 orders for almost 18 more months. The other option is that your dealer may look to trade another dealer.

As far as the anthracite wheels go... I wouldn't hold your breath. I hope you can get them, but there have been some pretty well-connected people here disappointed by how little Audi was willing to do for them.

Default An interesting ( not good) observation about the titanium wheels....

I checked out that link. They list the weight as 33lbs!!! That is 6 lbs heavier than the standard wheel. What's up with that?

I can't believe they weigh 6lbs more. It's only a different finish on the same wheel.
