Thanks! I don't even see it as an option for the 3.0T on audiusa.com configurator. I guess you have to ask your dealer directly to get that ordered?
We have a Daytona Gray Pearl on order. Debating whether it'd look better with this black optics pkg...
Black optics does look stunning with white exterior.
When are you scheduled to take delivery?

I was very persistent and refused to buy the q5 until the package became available
I called audi of America 6 times, googled and a member here has the product info book
It became orderable July 18
This package has a history of not being available when the new models first come out
I get mine first week of oct

it can be...
i live in FL, so i'm getting summer tires.
what i'm really saying is that 20" tires are more readily available than 19" ones, and i get that info from a guy who sells tires. he's been a mechanic for over 10 years also.
i did a quick search on tirerack...and found this to be true.
i'm also targeting passenger car tires, but the important thing to watch out for is the load rating...the tires i'm targeting (michelin super sport) exceeds the OEM tire load rating spec.

Got it. I'll be sticking with all-seasons, and then getting a second set of 18" winter wheels and tires.
It is true that tire selection in size 235/55/19 is somewhat limited. I might switch to 255/50/19 after the factory tires wear out. Better tire selection in that size.

they have tools online that calculate the difference...
get the 20's!!
the 5 arm option is only a $800, but I would pay $1500 to get the package
I'm a firm believer in "sometimes you have to show people what they want"

Nah... 255/50 is the correct plus zero size alternative to 235/55.
Honestly, the roads here can be pretty bad and she isn't always careful, so it's probably safer for her just to stick with 19s.
Had it been my vehicle, I would have most likely gotten the 20s, but I'm not much into SUVs to begin with. I'll stick with sedans.
