How different is the ride? Coming from A4's with 15 and 16 inch wheels, I expect to notice a significant difference with turn in, and the ride to be a tad firmer

Are 18's more prone to punctures, and what is the oem rubber like in cooler weather?

Also are the stock 18s much heavier than 17s

Thanks

It's personal preference. I like 17's because they ride well and the tires don't look like rubberbands. Others will say 18's 18's and on and on and on. Another reason for 17's is that they look decent with the factory ride height. You do 18's, you have to lower the TT or else it looks like a wagon. I have 17's with Eibach springs, Koni Sports and wheel spacers, 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. Good luck!!

Go for the 18" and it's awesome looking, the 17" are forged and 18" are cast wheels.

Forged wheels are much stronger/less easily bent than cast
