Default I'm starting to look at wheels....

Hey everyone, I am starting to look for some wheels to replace the factory 15" crap that the car came with. I like the look of the S4 wheels and imagine that there is someone with an S4 that has upgraded and would like to get rid of the stock wheels they have been storing. Are there any issues with bolting these wheels to my 98 A4 1.8T quattro? Will I need spacers? Are there other 17" X 8" wheels made by Audi that will fit directly onto my car without spacers? Thanks for the help.
Chris

Default the S4 Avus wheels will fit with no problems, but they are fairly heavy compared to others.

I do know someone who has a set in his garage that he's not using, but I don't know if he's willing to sell them or not. I can ask him, if you'd like - email me.

S4 Avus rims aren't 8" wide, they are 7.5" wide. They weigh about 27-28 pounds.
