Ouch!
So I asked OEMPL.US to see if they could get the TTS Titanium Optic RS4 wheels and they got a price... $1,045.00 each!!!! I about had a heart attack. I just called my dealer and silver RS4's are just over $400. I know it's expensive to ship to the USA... and our dollar is worth nothing but WOW... Over 4k for a set of OEM's... Way too much for me... Especially when you can buy the actual RS4 versions (ET29) for $450 on there site.
Instead, I might just buy OEM Silvers and have them painted to match the Titanium paint. Josh at OEMPL.US was great in looking into this for me. Super quick response... and I in no way blame OEMPL.US as it's out of there hands. Just sucks the economy is the way it is at the moment

I check others like vagparts.com. I tried OEMPL.US but found their pricing a bit high...
I also ordered an item from them with a promised arrival date (it was in stock), then I waited three weeks to find out it didn't make because their german supplier was now out of stock. Was going to be another three to four weeks waiting for their next shipment to arrive.
Got it from my normal UK guy in two days, and for a lot less.
This was for the iPhone cradle, and the UK guy was $80 US less than the OEMPL.US folk, even with shipping included.
Josh was who I worked with. Nice guy... The rest of the experience not so good.

I was actually thinking of getting the 19" 5 Split Spoke wheels in Titanium finish.
<center><img src="http://images35.fotki.com/v1198/photos/1/1343098/6272444/TTS_1-vi.jpg"></center><p>That be more unique. I originally hated them, but they have grown on me a lot!!! I have a feeling they will look way better in person!
