Default I finally got an A4 2.8Q! Questions!!!(kinda long)

Hi folks,

I got a '98 Silver/Beige 2.8Q fully loaded!!!
Oh man, it runs great. I have been hesitating between 328i and A4
and test drove both of them and ended up with A4. I have to admit
328i has better performance and suspension but A4 has better
build quality, interior and QUATTRO!!! Actually, most of 328is that I have
test dirven had annoying rattle noise and I got pretty much every options
I need in my A4 at lower price. After I test drove an A4, I was quite
satisfied with its performance and handling, so I bought it.
Anyways, I have a couple of questions. Will 2001 17 inch sports wheel fit
into my A4? It looks way cooler than my 16 inch sports wheel.
And the dealer that I deal with offers me an extended warranty which
will give me 7 years/100,000 miles bumper to bumper with $50 deductible
for $2350. I tried several extended warranty providers on the internet with
similar coverage but non of them provided lower price. I read the whole
coverage paper and it's exactly the same as the factory warranty.
For now, I have 30 days/1,000 miles warranty, so I don't have to buy it
right now. I'd like to hear you guys' opinios. Actually, I feel like I don't have
to get an extended warranty 'cause my brother has owned his '95 A6 and it's
just hit 100,000 miles without any major problem. Does A4 make many
problems after 3 years/50,000 miles? My A4 has 42,500 miles on it.
Sorry about a long post and any comments would be really appreciated!!!
I'll post pics of my car pretty soon.

Thanks!!!

Default Wheels will fit. You have to decide on the warranty. Some known problems(like tie rod ends and

control arms)my 97 ,with the exception of the tie rod ends ,has been perfect.

Default Onesource warranty has a 100,000 mile warranty for (m)

the 2.8 at $1995. But that's without the quattro.
Warrantybynet also has pretty good prices although I haven't had personal experience with either.
