Flame me for posting a picture of a dirty car.... Didn't get a chance for anything more than a quick hose down. It's always a challenge keeping cars clean when you live on a dirt road!!

@ChrisBWJ Did you buy the 19" wheels separately for your winter set up? I thought the BO package automatically adds the 20" flag wheels so surprised to see yours on the standard 19s.

so don’t get me wrong, the ceramic coating was great for protection / beading and was smooth. But you have to try beadmaker...the slickness is on another level. Again it’s not the best beading but that show car feel is definitely there. I feel like it looses it after you wash it but this stuff is so cheap I just reapply it quickly. Definitely worth checking out. Oh and I used Carpro UK 3.0 as my ceramic.

The BO wheels and summer tires are enjoying a warm winter in my basement right now.

The vehicle wasn't due to make it the dealer in Chicago for another couple of weeks. Thought I might be able to coordinate a pickup in slightly warmer weather and keep the summer setup on the vehicle. Then it showed up last weekend. Wife saw the pictures from the salesman and said we need to pick it up sooner rather than later (did I mention how lucky I am?). A free weekend, spin in a unique business opportunity allowed us to write off the trip to Chicago and I was stuck having to get a winter setup on short notice. The salesman cut me a deal on the Winter Tire/Wheel package from Audi which comes with the TPMS sensors. It became the price of convenience even if it wasn't my first choice for winters.

After pulling the trigger on the Winter setup, of course the temperatures spiked into the 40s to almost 50 for the drive home. Isn't there a saying about "best laid plans"?

Either way, it's in the garage now, and I can drive it whenever I want to!

I am in the same boat.. looking at a Daytona RS5 SB... And, looking at those wheels.

What is the price, and a good deal, on those wheels? I’ve seen other options for 19”, but I am actually thinking those wheels you got, powder coated gloss black (come summer), might be the ticket. PM me, if you don’t want to publish here.
