Default Wheel Question

I was looking to buy some new rims for my 2001 audi a4 1.8t. I have a few questions.

First, is there anywhere where I could buy those newer style Audi rims that come with the new Audi S4. If so where. Also I was looking at some rims and wanted some opinions.

I dont want to spend too much on rims, so my options are limited. Also I dont want to buy heavy rims and slow down the car alot. Here are two I was looking at.

a. Yes, if you either go to Audi, or get them off of an S4 owner who happens to be upgrading, you can get the new wheels.

as for your question..., I like these the best of the two bt you'd have to have a car with some red elewhere on it.

if your car is black then the ones I choose will work well I think. It'll look kinda (but not really unless your car is a demigod) like this

I think it looks nice. Also I've looked at some mesh grills for the front, but the ones i looked at are $150+. I see people with pictures on these forums with nice ones, and I'm wondering where did you buy those.
