You can order them from your Audi parts counter.

P/N 4DO 601 025T Z17 in 8x18, $635 ea.

Yes, they're proud of them.

There are a lot of wheels in the new Spring/Summer 2003 "Audi Collections and Accessories" catalog, which happened to be sitting on my desk.

Doh! AAA has them for $140 per wheel cheaper than your link 8(

Unless you bought the CHROME wheels? Then they are the same price.

They look $$$ for the suspension items too .. doesn't TireRack sell the H&amp;R Coilovers for $1440? Bennett wants $2650

Default They do look good but

They tip the scales at 28+ lbs.If you are going from factory 16" or 17" you will be adding over 10 pounds a corner in unsprung weight with wheel and tire combo.
