I like them, what are your thoughts. On a black or silver A4? Oh, and 17 or 18's, which would be better for performance?

I think they would look really good on a black A4, but not so much on a silver A4 though.

Yup. 17's would be better for performance due to lower weight.

Should I go with the 225/45-17 tire size or should I do something with a little lower profile?

What's the weight of one of those wheels? When I had aftermarket wheels on my B5 the one thing I wished I had was 18"s instead of 17"s. The 17's just were too small and stock sized for the price of the wheels.

It doesnt give the weight on tirerack.com, but the other rims I was looking at was the 18" ASA AR1's and on tirerack they state them as lightweight of 22 lbs. Which is pretty light I think.
