Well, after a horrid day at the office, I come home to get some good news ;o)
Someone sent me 4 tracking numbers by email. Each package contains a BBS RX wheel (silver) 17x7.5 ET35. They will be here by Saturday.
I'm going to use these as summer wheels. So that means R-compounds or a REALLY aggressive summer tire becuase I plan on doing around 10 autoXs and 1 - 3 driving schools / track events next summer.
The downside is that I'll be waiting until next April to put them on, but I can live with that.

nice...perhaps you should consider....
running those nice BBS wheels as street wheels and putting a sticky 40-45 series tire on your 16" wheels. It will help you get higher RPMs on the track/autox and it'll lower your center of gravity by a little which will further enhance your handling.
Sometimes I wish I did this, but my big brakes won't allow a 16" wheel. I don't need big brakes for autox really...only for track events.

Minus the spoiler, plus clear corners, minus the quattro badge, etc...

low profiles would be great. But if that makes the wheel smaller and shortens ...
the top speed of 1st gear then it would be a toss up. I've been on some courses where I barely get out of 1st.
