Default A3 sport wheels on a B5?

I'm thinking of picking up a set of the 2 tone 17" A3 sport wheels. They look like this:


Think they'll look good on a B5?

Hmm..I'm really not sure whether or not they would look good. They fit the A3 perfectly, but I dunno I guess I'd have to see it on the car.

Yeah, They look nice on the A3. I just don't know if they'll fit on my A4 that I'm getting. I don't want to spend $750 or so to have them look off.

Yeah, I guess you could try to photoshop them on, or have someone try for you. But you'll need a better pic. www.tirerack.com shows the wheels on the car for you, but they dont have the A3 wheels you want.

The guy selling them doesn't have any good pics to P-shop well enough. Oh well... I'll have to give it some thought.

There are plenty of other pictures of A3 wheels on the internet.

I think that guy is on the zine.

The wheels look OK on the car, not bad tho.
