Who else hates the stock S4 19'' rims?
I personally hate them. They look like flowers from far and potato peelers from close. I would love to fit the car with the optional 19'' RS4-ish rims for A4. Of course I can buy a set of cheap knockoff rims, but it seems that OEM wheels are a safer buy as far as quality is concerned. I've found 18'' rims for the winter tires, so that's done. I wonder if the dealer will change rims when my car arrives at the dealership? I'd probably have to pay up the wazoo I bet if I do that.

I honestly think that the stock rims are some of the best looking 5 spoke OEM wheels on any car. In my juvenile sense of being individualized, I had to put different wheels on anyway.

I get a lot of compliments on mine. I think Audi does a nice job with there stock sport wheels.
I think they should switch up from car to car though. Q7 for example has 21" for the Prestige Pkg.
which is same style as our S4 19's. Same with A6 sport wheel.

I absolutely love them...to the point that I'm having a hard time really finding a wheel that makes the car look significantly better than the stock ones. Even my friends who all have had fairly modified cars over the years have commented on what a good job Audi has done with the stock wheels.
I do like the wheels DrGP has on his S4 now, but after 3 years with those on my TT it's nice to have something different.

I have the 19" rims on mine and think they are trick and appropriate for this car.A little of a pain to clean but are otherwise cool and slick.You could ask the dealer to swap rims if they are willing to do it but you might have to pay for all new rims which might not seem worth it.You must be getting a prestige S4 as 19's are only available on them.
