Yes, although a few members on the B6 A4 forum will vehemently argue that they aren't CHs ;-)

Default Last years two-piece wheel is a BBS knock off the new one is a real BBS CH, so yes. (more)
BBS makes the wheels for Audi so they are BBS wheels and BBS also makes (or used to make) another two-piece wheel with the same spoke pattern call CH2. Both those wheels are cast. BBS-Japan makes a forged wheel that looks very much like the CH but it goes by the model name of RE and it costs half again as much as the CH at Tirerack.

Yes, about +50% per wheel but they look a whole lot like CH.
