Default 17" car wash safe S6 wheels?

I have been looking for 17" wheels that follow the RS6 19" style, clear the brakes on the 02 S6 and are car wash safe.
Has anyone had much luck?
Wanted to spend under $300 a wheel (not including tires.)
TIA

Default Agree - stay away from the auto washes - even then be careful....

I went to an automatic wash and decided to have them wash mine by hand, expecting to avoid rim damage, but while I wasn't looking some young guy used steel wool to clean the rims. ouch!
Anyway, just my personal horror. That reminds though, does anyone know a good rim refurb shop in PA?
