Default 2012 Wheel choices

Anyone have any ideas what the 2012 A4 wheels choices are going to look like? Any chance of a 19" option on anything outside the s-line package? Ordered the sports package but right now looks like no specific wheel for that package and am seriously considering trying for Titanium take-offs or Hartmant HTTRS 256's

I really like the 18" 5 arm twin spoke that was on the original 2012 order guide for the A4. Looks very similar to the S5 rim. I'm hoping my order magically comes with those wheels despite the fact the order guide now says 10 spoke. 5x2=10 right? ;-)

You can take the description and poke around the other Audi global sites - the Swiss A4 configurator has the 5 arm twin spoke as an available wheel. I guess the 18" 10 spoke is the one available today.

IMHO, the 5-spoke wheels look better on picture and the 10-spoke ones look better in person. If you haven't seen both, go do that.

I thought I'd like the hub cap of the 5-spoke wheels a lot, but when I saw it in person, it looked cheesy. I was totally disappointed by those wheels. They are better than the 17" ones though.

Correction. I thought you talked about the regular 5-spoke wheels, not the twin 5 spokes. I haven't seen those.

In Europe, here are the 18" 5 arm double spoke, the 18" 10 arm, and the 17" 10 arm star...

Love the double spoke 5 arm!!! Too bad it dropped from the US order guide.

I hear there's an updated Order Guide dated May 9th - does anyone have a copy to share?

If the 10 spoke right now that is available is the same as the middle 18" 10-spoke pictured I would be happy...seen them on a couple cars and think they look pretty good on Ice Metallic. Would be able to live with them through the first winter and then move to 19's and summer tires next spring.

According to the second order guide revision, the only 19" wheel available now is the wheel from the 2011 Titanium package, bundled with S-Line Plus.

No sport-package specific wheel because P+ and above already has 18" ten-spoke included.

Three other optional wheels:
Premium Only: 18" 5-*arm-*design wheels with 245/40 all-*season tires
P+ & Prestige: 18" quattro GmbH 5-*spoke-*design wheels with 245/40 all-*season tires
P+ & Prestige: 18" 10-*spoke-*design Chrome-*clad wheels with 245/40 summer tires

I have on order the "18" quattro GmbH 5-spoke" and my dealer sent me a picture of what they are supposed to look like, see below.

As production of 2012 is on the doorstep any new updates? Anyone know if the Titanium wheels are the same as on the S4? A5/S5?
