i like the standard 5-arm lambo-esque 17" alloys that come with the sport model, but i prefer the 17" 5 star alloys more commonly seen on the A4, but what is really nice is the S-line/RS6 18" 5 spoke alloys.
Whilst in the Audi Leeds showroom i asked the sales droid about 18" wheel options on the sportback TDI sport model "Oh no you can't have 18's - they come with 17's only" he said "but i'm sure there is a 14 spoke 18" option on the website!?" said i, "oh no there isn't" he said etc etc...... panto style, but i wouldn't give in until he went to his steam powered green-screen vehicle ordering system and looked up the wheel option, only to say "oh they must have added them" - no "sorry for confusing you there Sir" type response - Duh!
but the next question of mine about trying to order a TDI sport with S-lin alloys was firmly answered "no way" - if you want S-line alloys, buy an s-line.

Is this right? surely if you want to add change so many options on your car it becomes a special factory order, then asking for alloys from one model shouldn't be impossible?
Has anyone got S-line alloys built on their non s-line car?
Is there anyone reasonable at a dealer in the north of england who is nice to get along with and willing to talk options? - the service at Audi Leeds was terrible - i was in there 15 mins before one of the 2 sales-folks decided to get up from thier little aluminium pods to "see to me" - i think it was me slamming the bootlids on the showroom cars that made them decide to say "hello". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
