Called Audi in Carlsbad CA today and they told me between 400 and 500 bucks for a new standard rim. Can I get them elsewhere cheaper?

Can I take the rim off the full size spare tire in the back, and use it as one of my replacements?

Thanks.

Many OEM parts suppliers are out there that sell cheaper and there also exists replicas that look nearly identical to OEM...

Of course you can take the rim from spare and use it...
That's what it's for. Just replace the spare now w/ something useable as a spare. Perhaps use spare as replacement and a new replica as spare. If don't care about how spare looks, go with a steel rim. A steel rim works great as a spare, but are dirt cheap.
