I believe they're the same cost at circa £960 per wheel from dealer and then around £250 per tyre on the open market or £330ish from dealer

Spoke to the parts dept today and it seems the rotors are £772+VAT per wheel and the V-spokes are £869+VAT per wheel. Yowzer.

I'm still about 50/50. The rotors look great with the deep dish and nice and easy to keep clean but the general style of wheel is on everything from diesel A3s to, well, RS4s - they're everywhere. The v's are a rarer sight, look great clean and look great up close where you can see the detail but with the multi-coloured rim can sometimes look kerbed from a distance.

I have the rest of my spec decided down to whether to bother with B&O or not. I'm not a great one for loud music in the car but it's not a huge cost for the upgrade. Haven't heard the standard system - any thoughts?

With regards to the wheels, the Rotors look very deep concaved compared to the other Rotors in the audi range, they look sooo much better.
But just down to what YOU prefer, i've gone for the V spokes as i like them.
Get the B&O sound system, for £500 its well worth it and will help come resale.

Or you could just get the car with the rotas and then get some V spoke replicas from revolution £650 for 4 ( you cant tell the difference when their on the car).
I know its cheating but £650 for 4 instead of mega bucks. no brainer.

just my 2ps worth

Not long now, the buyer of my car ticked the wrong box on the paperwork so that slowed things up, and I have been slow on sending it off :bash:
