Default Those wheels happen to be 17" btw.. I guess we'll get the 16" versions

Default Confirmation??? Those are the 17" Euro version. What about the 16" NA version (more)

I read the article yesterday on VWVortex, and assuming there is no update, I don't think we have confirmation. I do think it is very likely that ours will be very similar to those (since they have 10 spokes and are similar in design to the current 7 spokers)

Got all excited about "confirmation",

Default These are old. They came on the Euro S6 as early as 1995

IMO, Audi needs to work on getting some better wheel designs. Especially, the sport package wheels should be more aggressive (and a 17" option wouldn't hurt either). I was pretty unimpressed with the sport wheels on my 98 1.8T, and these aren't any better. The S4 and TT wheels are ok, but not great.
On the other hand, I was at a BMW dealer the other day, and almost every car came with really sweet wheels, either standard or as an option. I was pretty impressed with the Bimmer wheel choices-- maybe Audi will get a little more aggressive in their choices as well.

We can always hope.
