5-spoke, part # 8T0-601-025-M

http://www.genuinevwaudiparts.com has it for $429.00 ($550.00 msrp) but I am not sure about the cost of shipping. Does anyone know how much it may cost approx? If close to or over $100, may just get it from a dealer.

Any advice?
Thanks

Check Craigslist always. There is a wheel for sale section here on the forums as well you might find something. I found 5 Ds2 M3 wheels on Craigslist for 335 bucks. with two tires..I thought it was a steal, good luck.

I work for UPS...........Call these guys(selling the rim) ask them how much the rim weighs.Then based on the box and packaging add 2 pounds,aproximately.

A reputable Audi Tech tells me a 18 to 19" rim ,typically will weigh about 24 to 30 lbs.Larger rim more weight,right?

You can even open an account with UPS on line.-Is simple issue the paperwork and have the UPS go to the origin and pickup whatever item you want.Also 1800-ups-pickup

Hartman wheels makes replicas that are exact OEMs as yours and will be less expensive.Dont get taken by the dealership,they wont cut you a break.

Do you have a full spare?If you do use that one.Then get Hartman wheel and place that one in the trunk.Good luck.

It's an interesting idea. However, the seller is notorious for not having a contact phone and, in general, not begin flexible - a trade-off for the low prices.

the dealership is ridiculous indeed. asking $720 plus tax for a $550 msrp item.
