New Wheel Option Coming Soon

Post by LegalEagle » Wed Oct 11, 2006 6:26 pm

Had a phone call from my dealer today following up on my request as to whether I can have the titanium wheels on my RS4 (having seen them on posts from our friends on the continent). Apparently these are to be offered in the next few weeks. Anyone have pics of a Daytona grey with titanium wheels?

Too late for me already bought my Avant. Are they available to buy through the dealer and if so how much? Do you think they would look good with Phantom black paint or does the car need the shiny wheel contrast?

There was an option for smoked chrome wheels not long after I ordered my car, dealer quoted £648 per wheel so I would imagine any other type would be in that ball park

At that price I'll rush down to my dealer and get a couple of sets, yeah right...

I have been told that it will be around £250 all in when ordered from new. Not sure what the cost is after purchase. I too am not sure whether you need the contrast of the wheels against a dark colour, hence the need for photos. Anyone seen any?

No photo's sorry. But I would go with the dark wheels...

Hmm I don't want the optics pack as I like the tailpipes and grill as they are. These also match the wing mirrors which I like. I'm just concerned that by changing the wheels they won't then match the mirrors, grill etc. Also, do you need contrast against the dark colour? Really need Daytona photos!

Can you not get an idea off the Audi site? Build and spec one?

I think the silver wheels look better with black, looks more sharper IMO

I must admit that I prefer the bling wheels, but then again I would say that since my RS4 is in Sprint Blue!
