get liighter rimsd and you will not only perform better, but ull accellerate faster. less mass means less moment of inertia means easier to turn means more speed

 

lol, rims wont make a huge difference in your personal feel of the car, it will most likely handle better cuz of the tires as well..

 

Sounds good, I was looking at the rs4 rims, and s4 18's on ebay...I'll get links later today... Anyone know the weight of these rims?

 

Yeah as long as you keep that outer diameter the same you are good to go (haha i just realized thats from the taco bell commercials). Thats why the wider the wheel the thinner the tire.

 

i could make your car faster if you get a lighter wheel. all depends on weithg

 

It depends. If you have an 18 with skinny spokes it will be easier to spin then a 17 that looks like a plate just b/c of the weight. If my 18"s are drastically slowing my car down, Im scared to see wht it would be like on 16's

 

I think it all depends on the rims. Me and a co-worker had the same car's except he had (18's, cai & exhaust) and i was stock (16") i would walk him all day. Then when i puton thek&n and exhaust it wasn't even a race.

 

I have a question, I am think of getting 18s for my A4 '98 as well, and I heard if you switch rims size your speedometer will not read correct. Ex: lets say your going 60 it will read 65 is this true THANKS!
