Oter than what I have listed below, anyone have any other wheels of similar design to suggest? Include weight if you know it...

So far on my list in order of preference (including price consideration) are:

Borbet Type T
Borbet Type E (very close 2nd)
OZ Volcano (bit expensive here in Canada)
MM Sfera (saw one of these in 16" and didn't really like it)<p>'00 1.8TQS Tip
clear corner mod
...more to come !

Default I'm going to go with the Type Es....very sharp in my opinion (and looks easy to clean!!)

Default Mark...I would go with the Type T over the Type E....

....the "cup"/curved look of the Type T suits the A4's lines much better IMO than the straight look of the Type E.
