copy's look just as good but if you strike a kerb or hit something there is a strong chance that it may split or shatter but originals mostly buckle.
i bought a combination of 2nd hand and new and refurbed them to look new but the final choice is yours.

Genuine rotors can be found less expensive than "crazy" 
I bought these genuine RS3 rotors a few month ago: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391088698505 The price went up since then, but it still can be considered a bargain

I've been running reps for over 3 years with no issues apart from the diamond cut areas have now started to suffer from whiteworm but I understand that this happens on genuine alloys too.

Winter is coming...
Is the white corrosion not covered by Audi under warranty (assuming there is no other damage e.g. kerb strikes) ? I previously had a Citroen DS3 and had three wheels replaced under warrnaty within 3 years due to white corrosion on the diamond cut parts of the wheels.
Not on a 6 year old car it isn't, so unless you buy new from Audi then you may need to get second hand ones refurbed which can be expensive, which is why a lot of the rotors you see on ebay have been sprayed all the same colour. I also took time to find reps that matched the OEM finish which is matt anthracite with a slightly textured paint finish.

I have 19 OEM rotors purchase off Ebay for a steal and in great condition. I had them fined tuned by N8 at Kowalski details. I would just keep looking for OEM. For me, the issue was the size. 19 with an 8.5 gave me too much stretch. The 8 width is perfect. Most reps in 19 come with 8.5 for some unknown reason at least to me

I don't like the look of the rep rotors, the spokes looks too skinny compared to genuine ones.
Keep looking and you'll find the right ones.
I bought an unmarked set of a black edition 18" rotors from an A3, for £800 a a couple of years ago.

Can the A3 take the 19" wheels without any rubbing etc, I have a 2011 sport back and was looking at larger wheels
