Steelies?
 

I've been searching and can't determine if they fit. I would really like a wheel that is uber cheap and can withstand a beating (michigan sucks). I originally bought some OEM 04 S4 rims for all year but just last month had one crack on me. And I am most definitely not going back to the 17" style. Too blah for me. Anyone have any suggestions, thanks.

just put mine on yesterday, they're A6 wheels 17x9 and i would argue that this size is perfect. being in wisconsin and having chunks of ice on the corner of roads, or even when the snow gets a little heavy and the tires sink a bit, it gives great traction since the tread follows up the side wall more.

17 by 9? That is a wide tire for snow.
