This is huge!!!!!!! Why don't you ask what's the best car? [:@]
OK, enough b!tchin' on my part...
But first of all, don't call them rims. They're wheels, bro! [8D]
I'd look at Ronal, BBS, Fikse, and HRE if you've got extra cash to burn!
Offset is OK between 30 - 42mm with most around 39mm
Hope this is a start.

I figured I might repost my question here, since I haven't gotten any responses yet. Maybe some shared interest:
18" RS6 rims on a 1.8T?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the opportunity to get a set of 9 spoke, 8.5J X 18" rims from my friend who has a brand new RS6. These are the stock rims that come with the car, and he upgraded.
My question is, will I run in to issues (turning, rubbing) when I mount these rims on my 2002 A4 1.8T Quattro with Sport package?
Secondarily, would a 235/40/18 best size tire for these rims?
My car currently has the stock 5 spoke 17" rims, with 235/40/17 Dunlops.
Thanks

Diggitty: Your stock tires are actually incorrect for the speedo. They should be 235/45 17. This would give you an accurate speedo. Currently your tires are causing your speedo to read 3.7% too fast. Nevertheless, the correct size for 18 inch wheels are 235/40 18.
You should not have any rubbing issues with the plus one sizing. Having said that... There may be a slight chance of rubbing if you were to drive the car at its limit in a hard corner at a track, but I've only heard of this with a lowered car with an 18 inch package.

Thanx for the help, I forgot to break it down that I want to get a gun metal inside and a polished lip WHEEL.

Thank you IMOLAS4,
You are right, my stock tires are 235/45/17, my mistake.
My concern was that my car is Sport package, so it is slightly lower. More importantly, the wheels that I want to put on are from an RS6, and are pretty wide at 8.5". No worries about hard cornering at a track, just normal highway and city driving.
Should I still be OK?
Thanks
