Very nice. I am seriously considering purchasing the Alpine White. Do you have any regrets? Seems gray and black are all the rage. Thanks.
Absolutely no regrets on AW. Previously had a silver A4, prior to that a black Honda Accord. The black color was definitely hardest to maintain and the most unforgiving when it came to blemishes (swirls, scratches, ding repair). Silver was alright, just seemed dull no matter how clean it was. AW just pops on a sunny or even gloomy day (IMHO). If you have a choice I say go with AW, but as you can see I am biased...good luck with your choice...let us know what you decide.

to the forum fellow so cal'r, congrats on your new car...not a big fan of the black wheels personally...but as long as you are cool with them... 
. Who did you have paint your wheels (always good to let members know of various shops/vendors?)
