Could you post some pictures? That would be really cool... I've been looking for some 18" wheels since I bought the car and have not found anything I like.

Default talk about laziness and a total weaksauce answer

its NOT like the google image search brings up a pictures of all of em... or is it?

OEM wheels are overpriced soft cast wheels that are often very heavy. The only thing going for them is the fact that they are shelf stocked by audi for years upon years. So when you bend one, you can buy yet another $400 replacement 6 years down the road.

Default why are you linking to the compeition?

you couldnt find a picture of that wheel on audiworld? Really not supposed to send the people you are paying to advertize to away from audiworld.

No I dont own an A3 because a FWD audi is not for me. I also dont own a lot of audis that I discuss at work... much like I'd expect you to be doing if you too work at a dealership.

Any particular reason for the HUGE price difference between the Calera and the Calita? I LOVE the Calera's (I'd never seen them before but that's EXACTLY what I was looking for) and I'm happy that they are the cheapest, but why are the Calita's so expensive?
