Default Wheels: Aftermarket

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade wheels on my B6. I've got a tire shop in Scar. that's being fair, Nantucket Tire and Mag, and they've priced out a set of Wheels/Tires for $1400. I'm having a tough time picking a wheel, though, and don't have much experience with aftermarket wheels.

Can I get some feed back as to a good style/wheel from the following site:
WheelZoo

Page 3,4,5,6, in the upper left side after selecting the AU/VW link in same corner will list the wheels.

Thanks in advance,
g

Just bought 18" S4 Replica Wheels (see model AD21 at Replicawheelscanada.com ) with 235-40-R18 Yokohama EnVigor for my A4 2006 Quattro. Paid 1600 Cd$ (incl GST+PST) in Montreal. Look great, drive great, feel great.

Hankook are good tires. You can not go wrong with them. Initially I wanted Hankook, but I changed my mind when I saw the Nitto's. Nitto is a little bit quieter then Hankook. But, of course, it is all about personal taste.

Sure: Tire Details - Discount Tire Direct

... as a reference. I have checked the Consumer Reports: the Nitto's are comming second on the UHP page, after the Falken's 912.

I have just ordered mines from Discount Tire... shipped to an address in US...
