Wondering if a nice used set is in the USA for sale(?) LMK...not looking for replica wheels ....at this point anyway.

Silver finish I want like my pic...but the S-plus titanium might also look good on my Blue car. :)

Hoping you guys can share some thoughts...TIA

Doubt anyone besides me has the OEM titanium ones but mine are certainly not for sale. They would look fantastic on the blue as i have seen numerous pics of blue cars with them from Europe and it looks good. If you have $3.6K Europrice and others can import them for you as a last resort. I paid a little over $700 ea 4 years ago but i think they are at/near $900 now.

Thanks man...Yikes...I figured they had to be expensive new. :bigeyes:
I know I'm in the wrong country to be looking for used ones.

The grey looks perfectly perfect on your car too. No brainer of a choice for you.:0:

If you know...is this the part number for the rim in titanium? 4B3 601 025Q8AU. I'm leaning toward the silver to contrast with the window trim etc, but the grey would be nice not having to wash off brake dust every week (not that I'm lazy)

There "was" an RS6 with 35k on the clock for $29k!!!! called, sold yesterday, F@#$ing damnit

Unfortunately Craigslist doesn't do nationwide searches... They should...

You have no idea on the brake dust...It hardly shows till its touched. Spreads out the washings considerably to when the car is dirty, not just the wheels. You may try some photo searches on-line (RS6+) as i have seen plenty of pics with blue and titanium, including official Audi pics.

http://www.europrice.us

This was my source...Alex...looks like the price is up to $3850...ouch...only $1300 more than I paid 4 years ago.

Looks like you have the part number right...you also need the center caps...

The order number:

4B3 601 025 Q 8AU

Center Cap:

4B0 601 170 7ZJ

Good link w/ pics in old post with parts number etc...

holy sh$$$$t. Wow. Well i will start taking better care of mine. I just hope i can get mine fixed. I have two that are slightly bent that will go to a repair shop soon. I sure as hell do not want to pay $1400 for one wheel if they can't both be saved.

Mark, you probably know them, but Wheel-Tech in Highland Park did a nice job on an egg-shaped BBS for me, brought it right back to true. Dave is the owner, pretty nice guy. They also do rash repair and painting (but not powder coating)

Just north of Ace Hardware on 41.

I plan to figure out where you live and steal your rims, so be sure to get them all sorted out before summer.

:hihi:

LOL, ummm don't look at Quattroworld.com or my sig on there is a bigger hint. I have Discount Tire in Naperville sitting on them for me for storage and eventually sending them out, probably next month as first track event is mid april if i dare do it. He has a shop that does them for him, probably the same place. PS I don't know if you have found this...http://www.audichicago.org/

but they put on excellent events and my first run with the RS6 was at the first event at Autobahn Country Club years ago. Great track to learn what your 'new' car does and the two day version in April will certainly be enough if you can't do all three. I highly recommend it as it really opens your eyes to what this car can really do besides in a straight line and it is very impressive. And EXCELLENT instructors a few of which had RS6s.

Mo dang ! Thanks all for the info and commentary. I will continue to 'want' a set at those prices it looks like.

I guess there's no recession at Audi parts.:hihi:

The only annoying thing is you get a bunch of blank frames, but it has something to do with Craigslist's legal issues....
