Default Anyone use Avus wheels for winter and others for summer ???

I am going to be getting a 2004 or 2005 S4 in the next month or 2. I was wondering if anyone uses the 18" AVUS with tires for the winter while using another type of wheel for the summer.
Also, is it ok to use 18" wheels in a winter setup, or would you be much better off with 17's ???

Default Use Avus for Track until Conti's are gone, 19" RS6 for fall/winter/spring, 19" 3pc staggerd Artecs

for Summer and shows. Down south in NC no real need for snow tires.

Default thanks

Thanks for some feedback on this. I definitely want a different summer wheel. I just need to decide if I want to use the AVUS wheels for winter, or if I should sell them and grab a different winter set.

Default I do. I guess 17s would be better in winter, but I've never had a problem

And I live in Northern New England. I'm looking for 19s for the summer :->
