Obviously, Tango are not 17' - i mean can't decide
17 or 16... Scared that 17 will have bubbles all the time like AVUS wheels do... Everyone complains how Avus wheels and Tires that come with them give Bubbles.. specialliy in NorthEast

Default inside...

VAG was running a deal for $400 for a complete set, I found a dealer online that was selling 4 for $370. That pretty much settled it for me. That is almost a cheap as steel hubcaps and a hell of a lot better all around. The problem that the S4 guys are complaining about has to do with a run of Pirelli P6000s that had soft sidewalls, so when you hit a pothole hard the sidewall would bubble out- it's not a problem with the rims. But, I'll say this again- if you are going to be paying full price for the rims, GO AFTERMARKET. You can get a far higher quality and lighter weight wheel for the same money.
