Default RS it’s getting cold-still no winter tire solution?

Anyone heard anything? I’ve emailed —radio silence. My dealer keeps checking—nothing. It is almost November . We need an all-season/winter tire package.

Maybe check somewhere besides the dealer like Tire Rack.

If you are considering new wheels you might try one of the A. Mkt guys. Check the vendor section but BB Wheels comes to mind. 21” should clear the brakes but offsets available & wheel width are best left to an expert.
‘Another thought would be to look for a German Forum and use Google translate. One would think that they have come up with a solution.

For RSQ8 Audi offers 2 types of winter wheels:
4M8073282 (silver) - 275/40/22 on rims 10JX22 , ET18
4M8073283 (silver or black with A letter) - 295/35/23 on rims 10,5JX23, ET18
Both types of wheels are with Hankook tyres. Due to the size of discs and calipers Audi doesn't offer 21" rims for this car. If you decide to start looking in the web use these catalog numbers. These wheels are available in Europe and the official Audi price for 23" black wheels set is CA 4000 Euro.
If you decide to buy the aftermarket rims/wheels their parameters should be comparable with these from Audi original.

The dealers in WI have the winter tire package available. Not a fan of the wheel personally so I’m going a different direction, but the package is available.

Here is the other Audi wheel the dealer confirmed fits the RSQ8. Downside is you need to buy wheels, tires and sensors separately.

But personally I prefer this wheel over the full winter package 10 spoke.

Here are mine, the same ones Retom posted about. I bought them from Audi Germany and now are sitting in a warehouse where everyone is working from home and they can’t/won’t even take phone calls. It was an accomplishment just to get the delivery to my middle man as nobody would answer the phone to setup delivery.
Now I’m a waiting for a shipping quote from shipper, as the quote to ship the pallet as freight was 10,000 euro... Mygermany.com has a wheel shipping service- don’t know why they even quoted the freight shipment.
