It looks like the standard wheels are changing a little for the MY14 S4. Anybody know what the Star-design wheels will look like, as compared to the S-design wheels?

From the 2014 order guide: 18" 5-parallel-spoke-star-design wheels with 245/40 summer tires

From the 2013 order guide: 18" 5-parallel-spoke-S-design wheels with 245/40 summer tires

I'm looking to order a 2014 and thought that the 18" wheels on the 2013 were a little dull-looking, so this might be a good thing!

Thanks

Google comes up with this:

Thanks. The Audi Sport brochure (http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/...66#/05272366/2) actually shows 3 different "5-parallel-spoke star design" wheels (one for the TT and 2 for the S6/S7), so it's not clear if the 2014 S4's 5-parallel-spoke star design wheels will look like one of those, or something different altogether.

Off topic: has anyone else not been able to use the S4 Configurator at audiusa.com? It's been a few weeks since it's worked for me. Works for some other models, though...

Not sure about the wheels but the configurator has not worked for me for about 2 weelks

This thread from the B8 A4 forum has a picture of the new 18" S4 wheel design:

The Audi website has a headline suggesting some kind of summer event. My guess is that they're trying hard to move the remaining 2013 inventory and they don't want folks to have a chance to configure a 2014 S4 model just yet (and possibly loose interest in a 2013). And they're certainly not going to fill any orders for a 2013 model. As per other threads on this site, the 2014 options are slightly different than those for 2013. My feeling is that if people configure the Black Optics and layered aluminum a bunch of the remaining 2013's are gonna sit on the lots.

Exactly why I orderd a 2014.

Here's to hoping that someone who buys a 2014 wants to sell the standard wheels for an upgrade; similar to a lot of the prior buyers. I am happy with the 18's but prefer the look of the new design; which is similat to my Alzor replica snow wheels.

Summer of Audi happens every year and pricing / money factors for 2013 will inevitably be better than on 2014's until the 2013's are gone. CPO shoppers can also be steered towards what is left for 2013. I doubt Audi is going to have trouble moving the rest of the 2013's.

I think there are some glitches with the configurator due to Audi's website changes, I had similar problems when the 2012 A6 was initially released - it just didn't work right.
