OEM Wheels

Do you happen to have a picture of the titanium replicas from a side view that shows the depth of the spokes? The face on view on ECS's web site makes them look rather flat on the face.

My 18" alzors definitely appear flatter than my stock 19". Don't know if the 19" is more like the stock.

Maybe you guys can help me clear up something.
I found these wheels on this website:
http://www.allfactorywheels.com/prod...%22-58840.html
I was talking with someone at my local Audi dealer and he says the part number is an older part number. The part number on the site is 8K0601025AK. He is telling me that 8K0601025CM is the newer part number. He also doubts that the wheels are new and Audi OEM.
If I find a set with the old part number (8K0601025AK), are they okay to put on my 2014 S4 or do I need to use the new part number to do my search? I was asking him for a price through the dealership and he said he can only look up the part using the new part number (8K0601025CM)

I was looking at those and sent them a note to understand why they are listed for Avant but not sedan. They seem to pretty clearly represent them as Audi OEM, but the condition is listed as "refinished" so that may be the reason for the price difference.
I was looking because I have had 2 wheels refinished for minor curb rash and have not been happy with the work done. Not sure I'd be comfortable with refinished unless I saw them in person. The issues I have come across with my refinished wheels is the finish - looks the same to the eye, but not smooth / glossy to the touch so they will be difficult to clean over time. Almost like they are missing clear coat or something on inside surface of wheel. (Referring to my specific wheels - I think they can be refinished properly but they have to be done by the right place.)
ECS has the part number your dealer referenced:
http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_S4-...oys/ES2600557/
The ECS price is similar to what my dealer suggested pricing would be (so I told her not to bother looking up).

Never heard back from them so I am not considering buying from them.

Honestly I think that is a smart move. If you are looking for Audi Genuine OEM Wheels I don't think those were legit. The fact they say refinished makes me have some doubt.
