Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything resembling deep snow yet, so I don't know how well they'll do.

I think you may be able to find a adhesive Audi emblem on ebay to apply over the centercap. Or measure the opening and you might get lucky to find an audi center cap that fits.

I prefer the first pic, looks like a potato slicer. For this kind of money you could look at low pressure cast wheels from OZ and BBS as well. I bought a second set of wheels at the same or higher quality as the OEM wheels. Some day I may want to run them year round, so I spent the extra $600-700 for the set. I went with 18" OZ Alleggerita in Anthracite, but many look as good or better.
Good Luck

Was looking at some reps for winter wheels, and down to these two. Both 18" any thoughts on how they would look on the S4? Anyone has them on the car?
