Default Poll: What characteristics did/do you look for in wheels (esp. 17") . . .
and what did you choose with those characteristics in mind?

I'm thinking about wheel weight, strength/durability, and looks. Please add in any other characteristics if you think of them.

Weight, strength, looks, so I went with SSR Intergals, but they would look too thin on a B6.

looks, then strength/durability/quality, and finally weight. Those should be the order of importance
