Default Help on Rims please!

Well people say that if your stock rims are 16, go 18. if your stock rims are 15, go 17

Well I believe audi A4 B5 stock rims are 15, am I correct? So I guess I'll be looking for 17 inch rims.

Would I be able to but 18 inch rims for my Audi a4 B5?

I Found some nice rims on ebay which I think are Audi RS4 Stock rims, but they are sold for A4s.

Here they are

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/O-E-1...33934146QQrdZ1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/O-E-1...33934153QQrdZ1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/O-E-1...33934142QQrdZ1

Now I want to know if I am to get the rims, am I supposed to get some kind of specific tires? What kind should I get? How much will they cost?

Please help me out and also tell me which of the rims you think looks good.

I know I have a lot of questions about this, but I don't want to make a mistake on this big purchase.

First Link: I like the wheel but in silver not chrome
Second Link: Better than first cause only chrome is the centercap
Third Link: Too boring

As for tires they just need to fit the demensions of the wheel.

the RS4s you've chosen (2nd link) are incredible... but overly popular really, and 18s are vrey popular on A4s... very.

I bought 18" rs4 replicas off ebay for my b5, and I loved them. The tires were $700, which was quite a bit more than the wheels themselves.

Yes, 18" is perfect for a b5. 19" for a b6. Make sure you get a drop, or it will look stupid.
