Ah yes, valid point, and in fact I did look there also. Only 2 of theirs are available in 20". Indeed when it comes down to it, I will compare their offering for looks, pricing, etc.

After I sold my S4 the new owner has had a few VMR wheels on it:

V710:


V701:


I like both wheels, but on this car, I like the V701 much better.


While we're at it, let's look at all wheels in 20" for Q5 on both sites...

The ones VRM has avail in 20" on their site:

V710:
20x9, 5x112, ET35


V708:
20x9, 5x112, ET35


So really I only see the RS4 reps as being reasonable contenders for me. And indeed I may prefer the lines of the VMR wheel over the Hartmann (though it's unclear what size each wheel was photographed in, so comparing these photos may not be an accurate comparison, but should cover general design differences):

Hartmann's offerings for 20" Q5 fitment:


HRS4-252-GS
20x9, 5x112, ET25 or ET40
High Gloss Silver


HRS6-204-GS:
20x9, 5x112, ET25
High Gloss Silver


HRS6-204-MA:
20x9, 5x112, ET40
Matte Anthracite


HS5-209-GA:M
20x9 5x112 ET25 or ET40
Gloss Anthracite : Machined Face


HRS4-252-GA:M
20x9, 5x112, ET40
Gloss Anthracite : Machined Face




They only make this in a 18"19", but I may have gone this route if it was avail in 20". It would have at least been an option

The 2014 Order Guide has now been updated with Side Assist removed as a stand-alone option. It used to be between "Fine Nappa..." and "Rear Seat...". Yes, this is for an SQ5 since that's what he's getting, but the same applied to all Q5s.

Mark, are there any other changes to the Q5 3.0 that are listed on the revised version.
Thanks,
Ron

I hate that you can't get side assist on a q5 w/o going prestige.

You can get side assist on a premium plus a4 for 2014. Not sure what the problem is for the q5.

The A4 may have had it removed as well (or it may be removed in the future), haven't seen the full updated guide. The "problem" is of course just that AoA doesn't want that configuration available (likely cannibalizing Prestige sales) or else Audi HQ didn't want to make that configuration available to AoA. These changes are pretty common, have to expect some shuffling after the initial guides come out. I seem to remember the 3.0T going through a lot of tweaks last year.

Glacier with titanium peelers will look great! I'm biased...hahaha

Rlk1

It does look great! What model year is this Q? Non S-line?

cheewy

Thanks! '12, S-Line Plus pkg.

Rlk1

Now I can't wait to get my new Glacier White with S-line package. Did you go with the black interior?

cheewy

Yep, Glacier White on Black Interior. I love that the SLine plus pkg came with black headliner.
