I love my Huper Optik Stark 30 (which is actually 35% I believe). Great heat rejection w/out being too dark. I didn't want my tint to be darker than my Meteor Gray body color, and the result exceeded my expectations. Here are a few pics I took a week or so after I got the tint (btw, my front winshield is not tinted and I have a light-gray interior):

Wow! I like those tints at ItsDubC's car. Job well done man! Well, I got my 2009 Audi A4 sedan couple of months ago. I went 35% front and back and 30% on the door windows and I'm also happy with the results. I asked help from www.TintBuyer.com. They provided free relevant information for tint buyers such as types of tints, its benefits, prices, laws involved in every state and most importantly they help me locate the best window tinting professional near my area. I hope this one helps, thanks

Thanks for that TintBuyer.com info btw. I wish I had known about that when I was getting tint; it would've saved me a lot of time. No doubt it'll be helpful to many here.

NY State is 70% on side windows including factory tint. They may make it an inspection pass/fail item. I did not bother. I may tint the top 6" of the windshield soon. The bright sun bothers me.
Rear window tints are allowed to be dark. Good if you park in the full sun.

I became a huge fan of the wheels when the A5 was first released, and had wanted them ever since

Thanks! Those are OEM A5 S-line wheels that I bought from an A5-owner who upgraded his wheels to an aftermarket set. I did a lot of research to make sure that they would fit w/out rubbing issues given the more aggressive offset that the A5/S5 allow compared to the A4/S4, and I chose a tire size very carefully.

I found these, but I'm a little worried about the quality from these guys. I've never heard of them or their products. Do you know if the Audi parts department would sell them to me? (http://www.finishlinewheels.com/AUDI/A5/2009/)
Also, were there any things or considerations you had to do to keep the car/suspension from rubbing?
Thanks for the info, and apologies for the thread-jacking!
