Default brake rotor size on a 2006A4B7?

Good morning all,
I'm looking for a littlw advise onrim sizes. I've picked the rims I'm going to get (Well pretty sure, thanks AteUrV8 ) and wanted to know if anyone know what my rotor size is? The reason is that I'm not sure if I'll be going with 18s or 19s yet. I don't want the rims to over power the rotors and make them look like rotors off a jetta. Does anyone have pics of 5 spoke rims on your 2006 A4 that I can see if the rotors get dwarfed?

Thanks in advance for you input.

Oh, and for those of you who are bound to comment ... yes I did check the search option and found no comment on rotor size for my car. But thanks for your concern

Thank you sir. I guess it's best that I go with the 18s since I fear the 19s would be too big looking. I'll post pics for anyone who's interested in the look once it's done.

Bigger rims always look nice. but then ride suffers. 19" are the largest that physically will fit on the car without modifications to the fender - 18" are great for looks and are ok for ride. I have 17's on my b5 and I noticed no difference in ride from my 15's. as always we'll love to see your new set-up once its finished.

Great feedback guys! My car came with 16s so to go to 17 wouldn't really attract me. I think I'll go with the 18s instead of the 19s since I'm nervous about the rotors looking small.
