Default 17in wheels for 2.7T A6 with PSK

I'm considering either the S4 regular Avus wheel or the new A6 2.7T PST wheel
which is a BBS RC. They are both 17X7.5 and I'll probably get 235/45/17
SP9000. I would like to know weight and price for both.
I'm using the stock twin spoke PSK wheels as winter rims but I must plan
for when all this snow will go away.

Default ask the wheel and tire forum

You won't get an answer there on weight or price, but still, it's better shot than asking here.

Tire Rack list RC as 17 x 8. Is the PST a spec version? If the same, how does dealer price compare to TR price ($429-469)?

Default Look at both SP9000 and 8000. Different characteristics

The 9000 is great in rain, quiet, and pretty grippy without complaining.

The 8000 is a little louder, not quite as capable in the rain, and slightly shorter lived, but grips harder and is considerably less expensive.

Your priorities will dictate which is the better choice.

Default Audi's price is way better but...

It has an implicit trade-in of your other rims. I believe they are RCIIs? Maybe I'm wrong about that.
