No the issue is that 20 is available to purchase now at a dealer. 19" I have to special order and wait 3 months. I'm Getting a 2013 model with 20's on it, A6 Prestige, the way i want it except for wheels, MSRP (62600 for 57k). So deciding between whether to take that one vs. waiting for special order. It would help to have the car now, though we can tough it out for 3 months to get it later.

Sent you PM.

One advantage to ordering is you will get a 14, it may cost a little more, but the car will be a model year newer. My guess is you can unload the 20s easily yourself, they are $900 wheels. You can get real Audi 19 inch wheels for half that new or pulled wheels, or get some nice Hartmann replica wheels.

Thanks. Was thinking of unloading the 20" is they are too bumpy a ride. I guess nothing changed in the car from 2013 to 2014..per the dealer. Unless I am missing something. So i figured might as well save something. This car will probably just stay in the family so not too worried about resale value.

Are the 20" really $900 a wheel? This website has them for $450 + shipping (~$50 per wheel)

I can't find the 19" inch replica's of the sports pack anywhere. The ones on the OEM website look very different than the one's on the car.

Those wheels at $450 are refurbished wheels, so my guess is they have been repainted and or fixed up. If you look up the 20s online parts.audiusa.com I beleive they show for $920 each, I have seen one dealer advertise then for around $750 new.
You can always get replica wheels, I have not seem replica wheels in the current 20 in sport wheels, but I am getting these hartmann wheels

$322 each for the 20s.

The thing I like about this wheel is it is a knock off of the RS5 (I think wheel) and with the anthracite it will hide brake dust a bit.

If you have a discount tire near you they are having a sale labor day weekend, $100 rebate on 4 tires and additional $100 rebate on 4 wheels. They ordered my wheels for me and got them cheaper than if I ordered direct.

Nice. Alot of nice wheels on this site. I'll check it out in the event I switch them. Thanks

Nice choice; gorgeous wheels. So I assume these are shiny (polished) face with a matte finish elsewhere? Is that why you say they hide dust? Anthracite always confuses me. What the hell is anthracite anyway?

Fully agree - I banished the OEM 19's that came with my 2013 to wintertime use, and purchased some Hartmann S4 reps for use as my summer wheels with summer rubber. Have been very satisfied with those wheels - the finsh is very nice and the ET38 pushes the wheels/tires out toward the fender lip nicely (but not so much that the tires spray the sides of the car with stuff).

Yes the anthracite is like a gray, not quite a gun metal, but according to a few other owners on here that have them that say they hide the dust a bit. I am swapping out the pads to Akebono pads so hiding brake dust should not be necessary, but if I decide to go back to OEM pad or maybe high performance pads these wheels will help. I feel in love with those wheels. My second choice was Lexani Lust because they look almost identical to the Audi 20s except they have black background.
