Not sure why you're so surprised about the 19's. You can see all the pictures in the Euro materials.



As far as why they're so ugly? Simple, so no one buys them.
Yeah, I saw the euro press release, but why tease the press and us with nice rims on press launch, but then release the car without the rims we all saw pictures of. When I saw the official euro wheel pics after initial launch, I didn't believe they would actually launch this nice car with crappy rims.

It's surprising how different AoA promote the S/Line package to that of the UK. Those rims that AoA sticker as sports rims are actually the uprated 19" rims that are exclusively offered on the SE model, not the S/Line sport model which get these 19" options.

There is a lot of similarity between these two designs but if I were to be totally honest I much prefer the BMW design, it looks a bit more stylist. Though even it looks second rent next to Audi's 20" rim.

It's just unbelievable that someone could approve that from Audi. Although closely mimicking those on 5er, the execution is just below any taste.
Even the 20'' are also comparable to the 20'' on 5er although much better... can't find a picture though... it seems they want to copy everything!?
