Yeah... it's the exact same running gear as the Golf R. What ever APR and other tuners do to one, they will do to the other. Except the S3 will unfortunately end up being substantially more money.
Looks like Audi will eventually not even offer the S4 in manual at this rate It will be a sad day when DSG is the only option for Audi. I lost all interest in Lexus and Mercedes when they went all auto a few years ago too. Heck, even the Porsche PDK only thing is a turn off for me (good thing I love old-skool air cooled 911s though )

Look at the a3 it is priced nearly at A4 levels as well... "Starting" means nothing.
A3 with quattro and the 2.0 and sound is 38k
A4 is like 42k equally equipped.

I've seen those wheels on a few R photos. They are definitely an OEM option. I think the ones we see in all the pics are the 19s, so I'm HOPING so hard that these are the standard 18's. If they are, I wouldn't replace them with aftermarket wheels. I think they look great.
Here is an R on the showroom floor with them:

The tire sidewall looks way to narrow for those to be 18's.

Just confirmed by reading through the vw.de site, those are indeed the OEM, but they are 19's.

The one's we've seen pictured are the Cadiz 19's with 235/35/ZR19's on them. You can zoom in on pics and read the tire size. But, according to this, those wheels come in 18's and 19's. I'm guessing these sexy ones are the optional 19" Pretoria mentioned above. I wonder if they'll be offered here. Not sure I would want 19's anyway though.
