Default actual height (it looks worse b\c garage deck on a slant)

The wheels still look good NOT slammed, right? =P

Default no doubt they are a nice wheel and its a nice color

but together the wheels look too dark and dont have enough surface area on them to look right.

Look for something with more surface area and a lip. Multi spoke designs always look good on the A4.

The B6 needs even more surface area than the B5, since the body seems to have more flat expanses of metal.

Default well what style do you want......

fine spoked (turbine look)
5 spoke
6 spoke
7 spoke

There are lots of options. I went with a M3 style wheel with 10 split spokes because they have enough surface area, a lip and a nice bright silver finish that contrasts the Emerald green of my car.

If you want to go dark *which does look the ***** you need to go dark but with a contrasting lip and center rondell.

Take a look around on www.tirerack.com and see what styles you like. Dont worry about prices yet. Pick a style you want then find the best priced wheel that makes you happy with that style.

I hate to repeat the same info, but the people I got my wheels from are very good and they have excellent prices.

1866-388RIMS that is their phone number, they are a distributor for alessio wheels which are made in italy. You can get a set of alessios for a serious discount through them.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&amp;userid=feb uary212002">http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&amp;userid=feb uary212002</a</li></ul>

Right. Better NOT slammed. Still looks very sporty. Don't go higher, though.
