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

I agree. I've done 5+ sets as well and have never had an issue with a bent rim - and roads in Toronto can be pretty bad at times. I even ran a set of used Mille Miglia alloys in the winter for 4 seasons and never had a problem.

Actually the price i paid for these ($500 shipped) is less than an aftermarket set.. So i'm happy. They were used obviously.

This is an Audi winter wheel package. The winter wheels are functional and do fine. Why subject nice wheels to this? And no, the car is not hitting the bush, it only looks that way. The snow is also about 4 times as deep out there now :-)

One thing to keep in mind is that if you regularly see deep snow, an open wheel can be a headache.
my 19" trispokes got snow in them that threw the wheels off balance. Had to take it through a car wash (yeah yeah, I know) to get the snow out of them properly.
Though I can't think of a wheel that wouldn't be this way except the immortal steelie.

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:

Thanks Sak. Missed this post. Yes, this is EXACTLY what they look like.
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.

Yeah, they're understated, but who gives a crap...it's Winter after all.
I did have a set VMR 708's ordered that would have looked better (they screwed the order up), but since they were so inexpensive I wasn't expecting them to last more than 2-3 years; and for the price, that would have been fine.
