Check out the Calito wheel on Audi USA site under A3 Accessories...
I saw a silver 3.2 S-Line A3 this morning (parked at McDonald's in Marin) and it had the Calito 18" wheels. Beautiful. If I got an A3 that is how I would set it up. S-Line with the Accessories Calito wheels. Silver with black leather interior. Sharp...

The Calitos are 15-spoke wheels. The 3.2 optional 18" wheels have 20 spokes.
Here's a link to the part number. They're $571.63 each.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2443557&postid=26903232#26903232 ">3.2 wheel info</a></li></ul>

So you're saying that someone bought an 3.2 A3 and spent $3600 for Calitos
rather than spend $1000 for the optional 18s...
Doesn't make sense to me-- but to each, his own, I guess.

Calito's are "only" US $810.96 each. They are real BBS wheels too!...
However,IMO for over $800 each they should be made from forged components too! Still, in the end, replica Calito wheels still would be only knock offs, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Sonnen in Marin will allow at least 10% discount to prefered customers.
And I had negotiated to get discount quote at Audi of Oakland for RS4 wheels. But I decided Replicas were good enough for the RS4's because I could install OEM caps.
