Is there an imitation version of the Audi A5 Y-spoke wheels?

I've seen various imitation Audi wheels that cost $200 instead of $500, is there also an imitation version of these?

They have lots of replicas, but I'm not sure if they have the Y-spokes. I would contact them and see what they can do.

I haven't seen reps of those yet as they are pretty new.

I think these might be the ones you are looking for. (5 scissor spokes)

And of course I look on the Audi Store site and they don't list the black version, but they are shown in the ad I received in the mail.

Hartmann Wheels are going to be your best bet if they ever come up with replicas...

They have the S5 wheels, and several other audi replicas, but I couldn't find the A5...

Check out the link:

RS4 reps are everywhere are are pretty cheap.

I'm partial to the RS4 DTMs from Hartmann. I had a set and liked the wheels. I just wanted something else which is why I picked up the VMR V710s.

Yeah those are definitely the other contender... Just wanted to see if the A5 ones are an option. It would be for an A4 Avant.

It would be MUCH easier for me to go for 18" instead of 19", what do you guys think, is that too small for that kind of flashy rim? I'm getting the 18" sport package wheels and I want to use those for winter tires, if I get another set of 18" wheels I just need to put my winter tires on the OEM ones once, then put my original summer rubber on the new replicas... If I get 19" I'll have to use the summer 18" rims until they're worn, and swap winters on and off at least once... PITB and costs money.

The pics didn't work for me either. But from the description, it sounds like the correct wheels. Maybe give them a call.

I emailed them, they said they don't have the pics yet.

The other thing is they say this wheel is 19x8. That seems pretty thin to me, usually 19" wheels are 8.5" or 9" wide. Can anyone confirm what width the A5 19" cissor-spoke wheels are?
