Default 17 B5 rs4 reps opinions

I recently came across this for sale thread.

any opinions on how these wheels and tires would look on a 1999 a4, silver.

If i got these i would most likely get a new suspension package, possibly the H&r race spring and bilstein sport shock combo. i currently have the stock sport suspension. so a sport spring wouldn't give me much change.

how do you think it would look on 17's. or should i wait and look for 18's? i'm not too big on huge wheels but i just want it to look clean... all opinions welcomed! thanks!

OR:

should i just keep my stock wheels but lower it.. i kinda like the stock look but haven't really seen too many lowered a4's with these stock wheels

the wheels i have:

I like the first ones but at the same time at least the ones on your car arnt half bad. I'm not sure which I would do but I think I would go for 18's then lower it.

I like all these wheels all you need to choose is the look your going for.

I love the RS4 reps. But I feel like if you get the 17s you're just gonna want 18s later. (Kinda that "fence is always greener" syndrome. Personally I'm gonna wait and save up a little extra cash for 18s.

17's are too small for upgraded rims.
