Ive seen only a handful with custom wheels, and to me it seems like lots of guys would be doing custom wheels.

I doubt it. I think that most of us are quite content with the Audi wheels, just as a vast majority of Porsche owners are quite content with the Porsche wheels.
I will probably get flamed for writing this that said.![]()

No plans to change as they are good enough. I might have ordered the Titanium if they were available when I got the car. Not into alot of bling
I have an Ice Silver with Carbon Sigma Sideblade Manual
the standard wheels are pretty bling and I luv em!
I've thought about changing them but not seen any yet that I think would make the car look better.
I think that the stock wheels look great. It would be hard to justify the cost of aftermarket wheels for the marginal benefit in aesthetics, if any, from another wheel.
Who plans on aero kits? I personally think the PPI kit is great. Now only if Audi would build the diesel V10!!
I never thought of myself as an "aftermarket wheel person" but I bought a set of Superleggera III's with all season tires from Tire Rack -- and I have to say I like them more than factory. Just a breath of bling.
Here's the link, if you are interested (no affiliation with either company):

That's a great looking wheel. I would probably take it over the stock ones, but not for $5K.
Just bought some CCW 18 X 12 and 18 X 9 with Toyo RA1's. Will be trying them on the track next weekend. They should be sweet.
What pattern did you select?
Did you fit wider tires; is that why you selected the wider wheels?
