Both Audi and TireRack.com say NO steel rims will fit over the larger 09 brakes. Go with Alloy!! (17-19")

Ok I just spoke with a guy in Ajax about winter tires....the deal was this.
Rims and tires installed for $1100.00....now the real news.

The rims are used, off a 04 Audi, 16 ", so I don't think they will fit an 09.....and the tires are Cooper Artic Claw.....WTF.....doesn't sound like a deal after all.....I'll keep seaching.

16" can fit, but not ones off an older model Audi, because B8 cars has a larger hub size than the B6. Tire size is also different. B6 should be 215/55/16, while B8 should be 225/55/16.

You can also try wheels for less (in Vaughan, hwy7 & Weston). I'm getting some 17" rims from them and they apparently drill the centerbore so it fits on an 09. Service could be much better tho.

I went to see Allen yesterday and got my winters on in less then an hour...great service , great price and easy to deal with.

I ended up getting 17" Audi rep. alloy wheels and 225, 50, 17 Hankook W300 tires, mounted, balanced, and installed for $1230.00...Drove up to the casino last night and they felt super on the long drive...even my wife was happy with them.

LET IT SNOW , LET IT SNOW........LET IT SNOW...

Got a few quotes. 2 really stuck out.

1) Active Green and Ross on Markham Road. Guys name is Rohan. Solid guy. Quotes me Firestone Winterforce for $150 each and replica 17" wheels for $150. Total was $1200 plus tax. Plus free 2 years road side assistance (don't really need it since I have with my 09) and free winter to summer swaps every year.

2) Dude on McCowan rd. 4800 or something. Hankook i*Pike w409 for $650 (no rims) installed.

The hankook look better than the winterforce. Still calling around tho. Simply tires is too far of a drive west for me. I live in markham and can't be bothered to drive out there..

Check talon tire in montreal. You'll save on PST and shipping is ~54$ for a set of tires and wheels. Prices are decent and he can get replicas. The AD74 (from replicas wheel canada RCW) fit on it properly, he sold me a set with Toyo Garitt KX.
