Default What size tyres + wheels come with the US spec sport A4's + Drove my dads M5 (E39)!!!

My A4 came with 16" here in the uk, someone told me that all us A4's came with 17" as standard...is this true...
PS: The M5 is without doubt the best car i have ever driven ( and i have driven some insane cars!)..............
It was freakin amazing...after pestering him for nigh on two weeks...he let me behind it...finally!
i didnt drive it hard, coz he is still trying to break it in...but my god...i was left speechless.......i mean 400Bhp thats just insane.....plus he is insane for buying the damn thing....then again it is his money right...he deserves it....hopefully if i save up maybe just maybe.....i might be able to afford one.....
just thought i would tell ya thats all....still love my A4 though!!!
i honestly didnt think he would buy one, i mean my dad can be a real tightarse sometimes....he was giving me crap for buying a brand new A4, saying that it was too much money etc...and he goes and buys a M5! Jeez!!!!
when my mates come to my house, it seems that my A4, is no longer the centre of attention..its that damn M5.......i'll get my own back....somehow...someway......

actually, when it comes to spec and stuff, we have many more options than the US, we can get exactly what we want, plus we got the nifty euro lights and plates. as for price? Id say fuel prices are where they have us.

If by "blow the M5 away" you mean off-the-line... then maybe. Handling and everything else? Doubt it
