Here is the picture my dealer sent me today. To be frank I am not 100% certain this is totaly accurate. However, my concern is based off of pretty flimsy evidence which I will explain later.



Ok the reason I still have a concern this isn't the right picture. The audi order option for these wheels has always been fairly accurate in describing the wheel design. Like the 2009 s-line was described as a "Double spoke" design which you can see with the split spoke design it actually is. This design in the 2010 Order option is referred to as "5 Segment spoke" design. Ok the 5 segment part matches but I cannot see why they would have failed to call it a "tri spoke" design. Oh well. I actually really like the design and I hope it is accurate because I am probably going to order it.

Did some poking around and found that this Tri spoke design (which incidently is LABELLED as a tri-spoke) is offered on other models of cars.

18" Tri-Spoke on A3 "Sport" package
19" Tri-Spoke on A4 S-Line package

So I guess a it sport of fits what they are doing to have a...

20" Tri-Spoke on Q5 S-Line package

I just wonder why the order book doesn't label it as Tri-Spoke. I will be on the phone with my dealer in the morning. She just sent me this picture in email tonight. So I have not had a chance to directly question her about her source. For those that are interested I will update you more tomorrow I guess.

i thought this was the 20" design for the Q5 S-line package.

This is the wheel that is shown on the Audi.com configurator.

i know that the wheel your dealer sent you is available on S-line Q's in the UK, not sure if it's going to be available in the States. The wheel on the white Q5 is growing on me, didn't like it at first but do now. the one your dealer sent is a nice looking wheel but is nothing new.

MY09 / MY10 have different S line wheels (the MY10 wheel was not available in the USA at time of launch). MY10 is the "five-tri" spoke wheels.

Here's a nice image of the wheel on a V12 Q7. I really liked the 2009 but in these images the new ones don't look too bad.

I honestly like the tri-spoke better. However, I totaly understand that the fact this design is used on several models of Audi and sort of devalues the "specialness" of them. The good news for me is that I live in an area where my Audi isn't going to have a lot of competition stealing the scene
