I realize that Audi's current WW&T Package is not a fave choice around here, but I'd really like to see what the car looks like with it. The wheels/tires in question are these:

I'm actually getting the S5 wheels - same tires I believe. I'll post pics in a few weeks when I have them installed. The S4 wheels are just a little bland.

Those S5/A5 winter wheels look like the 18" stock Canadian B8 S4 wheels.

The S5 winter package appears to have the same look as the Premium+ S4 18" wheels. I agree with you about the S4 wheels based on this photo. Just want to see if the wheels look better when they're actually on the car.

Audi's winter packages are good for winter, however you can do better price wise, if you go out and get your own aftermarket wheels and put the exact rubber you want on it.

100% confident in the performance of the Audi package. Weighing cost vs. hassle/time. I might prefer to simplify matters and just go with the Audi package (plus, my dealer offered to store my summers at no charge). Not sure I really have the time at present to investigate the various aftermarket options. Biggest concern at this point is that I just have no idea how the Audi wheels will look on the car. Would hate to spend ~$3K and be underwhelmed by the look. Hoping that someone has an actual pic...

May have answered my own question. I downloaded the A4/S4 brochure and there are some photos in there of a Premium Plus A4 with the same wheels -- good enough to get a sense of how these wheels will look on the S4. Actually, looks better than I thought it would.

Forum newbie here..
Just had these put on my car this weekend...Same opinion, they actually look better on the car than they do on their own in pictures.
