If the Americans can have these wheels on their B8 A4 S Lines, why can't we?

Would have preferred these to the 7 arm double spokers I have

They look VERY VERY nice!

...and the Irish.

May be an update in the junes brochure? These will also be on the A5 cabriolet as a wheel upgrade. So if they arn't available in june because they want to make them also exclusive to the A5 (other than the RS6/R8 models), then may be not until the Autumn other audi models can have them. (this is the same case on the new a3)

This sort of thing happens all the time!

They are available in the latest catalogue but I have a feeling they are S4 only. I considered them as they are rather pretty but they are also 1000 pounds......

Only a £440 option on the A5 S Line :aargh4:

I had to pay £635 for the 7 arm double spokers :yikes:

Saw A5 S-Line Cab outside Chapelfield in Norwich with these wheels- really sexy, they look similar to the new RS6 wheels. :)

Don't be jealous of the Americans. They get so little choice. At least we can pick and choose our spec.

Be careful what you wish for. I have these wheels on my U.S.-spec Avant, and the tiny grooves in each of the spokes are a PITA to clean. I have RS4's on the TT, and even though they have more spokes, they are easier to clean (and take less time).

There's only one kind of a A4 that can wear those wheels and that's an S4.

Mind you, you could always stick them on your car, change your 'A' to a 'S' and change your signature..... :aargh4::aargh4::aargh4:

But its a £440 option on all S-line A5's, so why not an A4?

It's not an option here in the UK. May be one day soon it will be.

It's too late for you now BH.

A5 & A5 Cab option for £440, S4 option £1100.

Not everything gets released with everything from the start, it takes time to build stocks up.
