Default No wonder people are dropping them like hot potatoes...
Umm I guess I should go with something like 17x8 or 17x7.5 then... I don't want 65lbs wheels on my car.

Default Dude, you didn't see my wheels did you? I'll need a suspension upgrade first.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/88227/3.jpg"></center><p>Then I'll really start looking for 17's. The question is if you'd not get Avus 17's what would you get? I probably can't afford it, but still nice to know.

Default My 15" wheels and tires were 42.5lb, my 17" AVUS are 48.5 with tires. I figure it's worth it for
the looks.

Default HRE's look nice....shiny... BBS looks good too, but not for me... pricey...
I'll go for much cheaper 17's like AVUS. Sport Edition or maybe OZ Hydra's, if I have to buy new.
