Default im looking for new wheels, help me decide!

saw these on someones a4 on here,
and i saw them on a jetta the other day...
so i was thinking i can just get them off a jetta and change the center caps.
but i wanted to see what ppl think...


my wheels are real wiiiiiide, and i was thinking of pulling the fenders. but i wanna lower it some more, so im just thinking getting some nice 18" wheels.


anyone have any other suggestions?

nice...i was thinking of trying to trade mine for some stock five spoke a4s.
i saw one at a vw dealership and was like "daaaaayyyuuum!" the car was just duumped! and the paint was in good condition and it looked sick.


i almost made that trade once...plus he was gonna give me 500 bucks.
but i backed out.

Jetta uses a 5x100 bolt pattern - it can share wheels with a TT. You have 5x112, so Jetta wheels won't work.

couldnt i get adapters?
are the passat wheels the same?

i saw some s4 or rs4 wheels, and they looked almost like a dark gun metal, and it looked like the paint was flat.
thought that looked pretty good.
i dont know!!!!
i just want the wheels to fit and look just right. and the wheels i have right now are tooo wide in the back...
they go with my car, but if i lower the back, i know it'll rub the fender...and i dont wanna have to go through the process of getting the fenders pulled, and possibly have to get them repainted.

anyone know which would be cheaper??
selling my wheels, and getting new ones.
or...
getting my fenders pulled, and possibly repainting.

what do you guys think my wheels, and how they look on my car???
be completely honest!
i wont mind.
