I found some wheels on tire rack made by Kosei. I personally have never heard of them. They're 17x8 and tire rack says they weigh 15 pounds. They're cheap too.

Nice. I'm gonna put mine on a diet (after I get it [sm=smiley13.gif]). I like those kosei wheels a lot. They look good on a black A4, which is hopefully what I'll be able to get. How do you like the borla exhaust?
