Nah not really. Im thinking 18 - 19 and about 8.5 for the width. Something like yours, just alloy not chrome, actually look really good. Im not a fan of chrome, thats all. Don't want to spend too much either :P Im thinking to go for staggered rims. 8.5 in the back and about 8 in the front.
So far i like these but too bloody expensive, but this is kinda the look im thinking
Axis Wheels - Staggered wheels, Axis Super Hiro, Axis Halo Pinstriped wheels, Axis Oldskool, Axis Gravity, Shine, Axis Hiro, Axis Reverb, Axis Penta and Matrix. 15 inch Scion wheels, Staggered wheels for 350Z, Infiniti G35, BMW 5 series.

Look on Kijiji. Got these for $500 with tires.

I heard staggered wheels messes with the quattro system.

Wow 99a4turbo ... nice wheels, and for 500$ with tires, awesome deal! I tried earlier in the evening to mount the wheels on but my wheel "ratchet" was to big, Can't get the lugs tight enough...damn!! So I unfortunately got to put my OEM wheels back on ... i might be able to put them on at my friend's house on sunday ... if i can i'll post some pics, otherway i'll have to wait almost until christmas :S...

(by the way ... sorry if i might be unclear sometimes... i usually speak french so i do my best in english hehe!!)

GeneKam-*** I bought my 18inches only because i had an awesome deal, otherwise i had no freakin money at the moment for brand new wheels ... and for YOUR wheels, i think the black painted ones look reaaaaaally great. What color is your a4 ??

That kind of red with matte black wheels would be awesome

Hey GeneKam, do you know what is the center bore of our winter wheels ? I'll have to buy hub rings to center my 18in wheels and I think they are 73.1mm i just need the exact inner diameter, I can't find it on the web

$500 for the set. I gotta get the chrome lip refinished because I think the guy who had them before got salt on them or something, and the protecting layer is coming off, but you can't tell unless you're pretty close.

And those Axis Matte Graphite wheels are sweet! Those type wheels always seem to look good on Audi's and BMW's.
