I'm going to purchase a set of wheels and tires for the summer and I would appreciate some feedback to help in my decision process. I have a Brilliant Yellow 2000 A4 1.8T QSport Package.Firstly, I've narrowed the field down to one manufacturer (Enkei - as I'm on a budget). I would like your feedback on the following:

1. Should i go 17 or 18
2. What size tire should I go on both without having to lower the car even more (currently on 205/55/R16)
3. What style/model should I go with (images attached):

I'll going with the Anthracite as it looks great with the yellow.

Thanks for y'all's feedback!

17 and 18 will look fine. i would get 17 just because you have sport. if you lowered it i would say 18.

the 5 spoke enkei's look the best

 

yeah the 17's with no lower and the 5 spoke so your brakes dont show to much cuz with the 7 spokes everyone will see the brakes. unless yours are painted and all jazzed up of course.

 

Thanks! I'll post some pictures when I get my lowers repainted. The guy I bought this from had them painted but the paint is chipping. I also have to replace the front passenger side lower as it is splitting from the door.

As for the wheels, the 5 spoke would look better so thanks for the validation. The calipers were also painted but they appear to be stock.

Would anybody know what tire I should get? I saw a set of Falkens but I hear Toyos and Kuhmos are pretty good also. Would 225/45 R17 fit?

 

Those are all pretty good tires and that is the size i run. Tirerack.com has a good review on tires to help you decide which is best for what you need/want.
