rims
I think bronze would look great. There's a lot of really nice OEM wheels out there, just depends on what you are looking for as far as design. Bolt pattern limits you a bit and I've not seen a ton of wheels in 5X112 that are bronze in color but BBS, VMR, Rotiform, Raderwerks, HRE, OZ, etc.
Not certain I do. Still kinda new to Audi's myself, or at least to the Euro look. Are you thinking a darker finish, like copper bronze? What style of wheels catch your eye? There's a lot of wheels that look really good on the B5's.
Got ya, been looking at a similar rim for quite some time. What it came down to with me was the offset and sizing I was looking for but i don't really remember seeing that rim in bronze more than once or twice.
I think it was originally an Avant Garde M-310, VMR also makes a replica called the 710, others include OZ Raijin, ASA GT5, Raderwerks C-8, there are also others that are close like the Miro111's and Raderwerks 1-Eleven S. I know there were more but I don't know that I've seen that wheel in bronze other than the TSW...
Is there a certain size/width/offset you are looking for?

Ya likea 18x8 and 35 mm off set i dont want to goto bing because i just lowerd it
1 3/4 in front and 1 1/2 in back but it lowerd it way more then that i think.
I just want the tire to come out to the flareand the car to be a little over the rim and tire.

Most of the wheels I mentioned above are going to come in half sizes. so 8.5" or 9.5" I do believe Raderwerks and the ASA's came in an 8" or 9" but vendors seemed to recommend staggered offsets for the B5 for everything else, which I find odd because I rotate my tires every oil change and that would not really be possible with that kinda set-up. Et 35-38 is pretty common, you shouldn't have an issue there. I've not had personal experience with TSW's but from what I've read I'd search out all my options if I were you. It seemed like the OZ Raijin's came in bronze too, I'm sure they are a little more but they'll likely be lighter and better quality.
As far as a tire you should be fine with the standard size of 225/40R18.
