I never checked with my dealer either but I think the OEM blades might be cheaper...
i just wanted to see if there was an alternative thus the reason I bought a set.
www.worldimpex.com sells them for $18/ea + shipping.

the Valeo Ultimates are the same blade so I'm assuming performance is the same...
they have identical part numbers written on the blades and look 100% the same, thus they have to be OEM.

The Aero Wipers were stock on 2004.5 cars so you have to buy the aero arms ($26/ea) and then
get the blades. I don't think they have aftermarket Ultimates that fit the non-Aero Wiper arms, i.e. pre-2004.5 B6's.
