I agree it would have been nice to have at least one other alternative but rotors are the tradition on this type of car.
They are certainly not my favourite Audi wheel but I do think they look better than the original rotor design.
They look like the same wheels that every Audi has had for the past few years. To me it looks like they just changed the colour a sacked off the concave.

I'm not a fan of aftermarket wheels myself but some new rims would make a difference to this car.

If all goes to plan I'll be placing my order on Saturday. Got an hour long test drive planned aswell so that will either seal the deal or change my mind!

Been deliberating over my final spec all week but think I've finally settled on what I want!

Will have to then settle into a 7 month wait!

Really? When did you order?

The dealer has already told me that orders are placed in a que, and when a build slot becomes available its allocated! Once I'm ordered I don't expect to hear anything for at least a month, if not longer!

Looking back through here I posted about it on the 6th July so 2 and a bit weeks now. I expected a build week to be allocated straight away, but it looks like you have more realistic expectations!

I think these cars look a lot better in the flesh. Granted, the styling is far too safe, but I saw one outside Reading Audi and it looked a lot more purposeful than the pictures and videos I have seen to date.

+1

And the wife is PCP. But without options there's some reasonable lease deals.

I looked into one this week and was told January at the earliest! I'm going to go for an A45 instead and get one in a year or two when the demand has quelled a bit.

Demand is unreal, I can't quite believe it. The one I ordered a few weeks back will be delivered this month. I reckon going close to March for delivery now. How anyone could hear the RS3 with the sports zorst and then order the four pot A45 is beyond me!

Hello all, well I was tempted into a big discount on a B8 when visiting My local Audi peops in March and part exchanged my awesome B7 (miltek, cleaned ports, AMD map, pre cats gutted) and what a mistake that was! Although the B8 is a truly lovely car I found it grossly overweight and the S Tronic box just not in tune with the car. It had a mind of its own and after the relatively nimble and far more responsive B7. It had sports seats not buckets and they offered no support when pushing on. Shame.
So I did my research and went back to order what I originally went in for - an RS3!
The B8 had lost £18k on what was already a pre registered car (600 miles on collection) so was not very happy but the allure of the RS3 was too much.
It's a great car fast nimble and the S Tronic is far more in tune - and whilst I'll miss the V8 the V5 is just awesome.
So two weeks ago I ordered my fully loaded RS3 - told by the salesman it'd be November/December delivery and last week I got a BW22!!! April next year .... Crazy just hope it's worth the wait.
In spite of all this I still prefer the Audi RS's to the Mercs and Beemers they are an extremely good all round package. But what colour? Sepang is too dark for me, white or black is not for me or red so it looks like Daytona.. The same as my other half's A3 S Line and my old B7.... Tempted by Nogaro blue - has anyone else got one in that yet? If so can you post pics?
Long wait ahead so have now done a deal with Audi for a run around to fil the gap - A3 saloon 1.6tdi - great!
