I think that may be the look i am going for. I love the stock wheel but 17 in is so small on such a pig! I am hoping to put a set of 18 inch Avus on there soon enough so any help would be gret, Thanks in advanced!

Default I'd shoot for used OEM B6 S4 wheels with rubber.

You should be able to get an almost brand new set if you keep your eyes open. Stay away from reps since they tend to show up somewhat often. S8 wheels if you want a lighter wheel but they are very rare.

Default The best way: Jackstands, jack, tire wrench, torque wrench. There are other ways, such as propping

your car up on cinderblocks or phone directories. This is the preferred method in the 'hood when they are stealing your rims.

OEM B6 S4 wheels need spacers to fit on a B5 S4 (just FYI)
