Default 5-tri-spoke 19" wheel pics?

Us Canucks seem to keep getting the short end of the Audi Options stick

I have to pay an extra $500 for Adaptive Cruise Control because it has to be special ordered; it's not an option on the Canadian models, and it seems you lucky SOBs get a choice of 5-tri-spoke 19" instead of only the 5-double-spokers, of which there is no alternative for those of us north of the 49th.

Anyone happen to have pictures of these new 5-tri-spokers?

Ask your dealer when it will be built. If it is after production week 29, you will get the 5-tri-spoke wheels. Audi Canada just told dealers that there is a factory delay on that wheel for S5 coupes so instead of delaying all the orders, all cars built between week 23-29 will get the double-spoke rims from MY09.

No build date yet.

I'm told this is because it's still in the factory order bank with a special order option added (Adaptive Cruise Control); they say that when special order options are added, build weeks and production times may vary.

When is week 29? Is that week of July 12, or are Production weeks different than Calendar weeks?

Production week is same as calendar week.

Ah, the tri-spoke. It's as if Audi said to me, hmmm, ya know, those duo-spoke aren't a bitch enough to clean already. Let me try harder.

Do you guys know if the trispoke is a standard option or extra cost? I'm getting mixed responses from dealers.
