Guys, does anyone know the price per set of each of these wheel styles? I'm really stuck between the two and am hoping to place a car order tomorrow. It would be useful if, for example, a set of v-spoke cost £4k whereas a set of rotors cost £3k (example figures) so that at least I knew which were the better purchase at the same price, if that makes sense. :beerchug:

If your planning to order the car with the sports package then you can get either in the pack. If not then the last time I looked they are the same price, £1350 upgrade over the standard 19's. That's is you go for the titanium rotors, the aluminium look are £100 cheaper. Look at the online brochure it gives you all the info you need.

http://www.audi.co.uk/content/dam/audi/ ... -avant.pdf

Seriously though, build you desired car on the Audi configurator, get the code and give this to the stealer, then you won't miss anything you wanted.

Oh, by the way, go for v spokes, pain in the backside to clean but IMO look better. Too many other Audi's on rotors. See below :beerchug:

Thanks for that. I wasn't very clear, sorry, I meant how much to buy from Audi retrospectively if I changed my mind? I guess they'll be pretty much the same given the same upgrade costs but the v-spoke do seem like they would normally be the more expensive wheel, due to the cut and multi-faceted finish. I'll see if I can get a price from the parts dept tomorrow. :beerchug:
