I agree completely. I didn't care for the 19" Titanium V-spoke wheels when viewing them online but in person they look really good. They look completely different than the stock pictures on Audi's...

That sounds decent to me. Figuring shipping has to be over $100 also and it's included in your quote. I don't know if it's $300, I guess that depends on the shipping. If you're anywhere near AWE...
