Default What do you think about these wheels?

Hey guys, I've been looking at different sets of wheels since I got
my 98 Audi A4 1.8t a week ago.

I really like wheels with a lip. I love em' so thats the style I'm after. Low offset.

Well, Here are a set that I think would look good and wanted some opinions.



I know these arent on a B5 but it gives you a good idea.



There are also these that I have thought might look good.

18x8.5 +35mm offset





Or these, also 18x8.5 +35mm offset





There are more but this gives you an idea the style I like,

What do you guys think?

Well ran into a problem.

The first ones are the ones I want, I called RPM up and
they have it in an 18x8
However, fitment guide where I work, ( Discount Tire Co. ) Shows for my car
if I install an 18x8 the offset has to be +40 to fit. And those are +35

This means the wheel will stick out a bit too far. and when I hit a bump or something
my fender will come into contact witht he tire, and im sure cut it.

I thought about rolling my fenders... But risky. So I'm going to have to do a bit more
research, Because I want those wheels. Bad.

I found out their offset isnt 35, It's 38. And my store shows it needs a 40....

+2 offset difference I think will be ok. And the lip is 2.5" - 3" So itll be pretty nice.

I can also get a set for $400-$450 Thanks to where I work. So I think the first set
is what I'm going with.
