They are not going to when they are 17's but are still classified as v-spokes on the configurator.

you are right, so why are people bothered they are called V spokes if they look different?...I am not. Your driving an RS4 irrespective of the wheel design, so what's the biggy if an A1 (lovely as they are and little does the Wife know she'll be getting one) has the same??

It'd be interesting to see actually numbers of cars sold with vspokes vs rotors vs std 19's
I'm Not sure there'd be much in it between the three

I think it would be nice if Audi had designed a wheel unique to the rs4 and not put it on other cars
Admittedly, it's not cheap to design a wheel, but in comparison to their overall r&d budgets, it's pennies

Couldn't agree more. They did it for the RS6 & R8........ :audibash:
It's all torque talk.

The Avus design wheels have only ever been available on 'S' models and were never an option on lesser models.

Agreed, but I think peoples frustration lies in Audi's move away from such a policy....

Yes - I spotted them on the config' only this afternoon! Initially wondered if they might be 20s (like are available as an option on the S5) but they appear to be 19s. Wheel and tyre size and price don't seem available yet?
