Default Wisdom of the Audi ages sought...(no it's not a damn Audi age poll)...

I'm wanting to get some opinions on which direction I should go here. The other day I got my new set of wheels and tires, went to put 'em on and they RUB on the calipers. I couldn't believe it. I mean I know that the company I ordered 'em from is VERY used to providing wheel and tire sets to S4 owners here on the forum. I've seen pics of the same wheels on other S4's. They're Stilauto SR400a's. I don't know whether they're the wrong offset or what. Regardless of the reason, I'm going to have to send 'em back to the place I ordered from.

Now, for the question that I'm seeking the wisdom of the Audi ages for. Should I get another set of wheels, possibly another brand. I'm thinkin 18" Axis Se7en's in Gunmetal is what I'm leaning towards. OR forego the wheels until a later date and spend about the same amount of money on a set of Stoptecs.

I'm really confused as to which direction I should go and I'm just looking for some opinions from the only S4 gurus I know. TIA!!

Default I think even Axis Se7en's , require you to shave the outside face of the caliper

I've never seen the Stilauto SR400a's on an S4

Default Doh, I didn't know that, kinda sucks, guess I'll have to pick something else.

I really like BBS RXII's but they're a little more than I wanted to spend. I thought about SSR Comps, but from what I read I can't get em in 18". Kinda sucks, I think if I can't make up my mind I may just go with the Stoptech's for now. We'll see. Thanks for the info though.
