My more pressing question, however, has to do with rims. I want to get a separate set of rims for winter and I just about choked when Audi gave me the quote for rims/wheel caps/sensors. I want to go the aftermarket approach to save some $, but am wondering about the tire sensors. Can I buy aftermarket rims with sensors that will work with my car? Or, do I just forget the sensors altogether and look at the sensor malfunctioning light on my dash all winter? What does everyone else do?

Hope someone can help.
I found used alloy rims which even included winter rubber for my TT on Vwvortex.com. Under their forums sections, they have Canadian classified areas, as well as audi classified areas, chances are you could find something there fairly local. People are selling all kinds of audi-VW sized rims and tires on this site. Many VW rim-bolt patterns also fit Audis. Just know your bolt pattern and rim offset and start searching, good luck!
