Anyone have pics of the B8 S4 with Audi's current Winter Wheel and Tire Package?

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.

I think they are nice looking wheels, to be honest. Simple and tasteful.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't see the reasoning in going with the Audi packages, and paying 2x as much as getting the winter tires and rims from somewhere else. The dealer quoted me $3k+ for the Audi package, and I got one from TR for $1500. The hour it took me to jack up the car and put the new set on was worth the savings. Also, I'd still have to drive the car to the dealer and that would be more than an hour of wasted time. They are just winters after all, but to each their own.

I agree and because I'm all thumbs, my local tire guy had them delivered to him, I think he made a few % points + he charged me $50 to mount them. About half the cost of the genuine Audi package.

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:

FWIW, had mine put on about a month ago. At first, they were SO different from the 19" tri-spokes that I wasn't sure what to think, and wasn't sure I'd warm to them. But I have. They look quite good in person, albeit very understated. Added benefit is that they are quite easy to wash, and clean up much faster than the tri-spokes -- important consideration on cold winter days.

FWIW, I ended up going with the winter tire package that they offer for the S4 (at a great discount which tells me that there is tons of wiggle room from MSRP for the dealer) and figured I could use the visual change in the rim. The Audi tire package also comes with free tire totes which can help with storage and transportation.
