Question Rim suggestions

Hey everyone, I have a silver 2002 A6 2.7T sedan and I need some help or suggestions. I want to get some bigger rims (preferably 18s MAYBE 19s) so I can get rid of the stock look, and also have more room to do a big break upgrade eventually. So, I could really use some help. I have done several engine mods already and want to keep a more aggressive look on the rims.
Anyone heard of the BE by Breyton company? they have a set of rims that should fit my wheel fitment (according to tirerack.com) and they look awesome. I have thought about BBS, but between their price and not really loving any one particular rim for my car, I have opted out of that one. There are some OZs that I like, but again no "wow!" factor...

I would greatly appreciate any tips and or advice anyone has to offer,
Thanks a lot.

MODS:
A6 C5 - 2.7T
APR 91 CHIP, APR Bipipe
FMDVSPLTR -2
ABD Intake w/ K&N filter
Cat-back w/ MagnaFlow ResMuffs - soon to be open downpipes w/ electric cut out

Everyone has their own opinion of what makes a beautiful rim. I would not go larger than 18" unless you live in an environment of very smooth pavement and no potholes. Also, going 18" and larger tires limits the selection and raises the price.

Thanks for the advice ppgoal... You are right, 19s would be too big and since I live with some roads that have some potholes, I don't want to worry all the time with clearance issues... I'm thinking stock rs6 rims!

I agree with ppgoal not to go bigger than 18". I've seen some cars with 19s that look really nice but I've heard a lot of those guys complaining about rough ride and damaged rims.

Lowering springs also do a lot to help with your look by taking up some of that gap between the tires and fender.

I'm not familiar with the brand of wheels you mention in your post. Do you have a link to the ones you are looking at?
