Default Question About 96 A4 B5 Rims

Hey guys, i'm completely new to this whole scene and i just purchased my first audi a4. I'm thinking about putting some new rims on my ride, but i'm not sure about the setup of the rims. BTW i'm thinking about some black 19's. Any info on this stuff would be awesome. Thx in advance.

Black rims with chrome lip would be cool

I would go 18's...19's are alittle too big for my taste, just my opinion, though.

Yeah man, definitely 18's. I was deciding between 18's and 19's but people told me to go with the 18's so I did and they're perfect. I wouldn't go any bigger.

remember bigger rims slow you. the general rule i use is anything over 17 hurts performance. though i have 18s.

If the rims are lighter I'm not sure if that matters so much, I could be wrong though, just a thought.

lighter helps but te farther the mass is from the point of rotation the more force it takes to move it
