If avants can pull of BBS RS rims than you can pull that off in a 17 inch format. It'd be a different story if they were 15"s. That'd be MK II golf territory.

Not sure how it would look but you can probably pull it off with the car being slammed! Not exactly baller status tho.

For $300, it's worth the try. Are they 5X112?

maybe they'd look better in person/polished more... I dunno if I'm low enough to pull these off. I think I'll get them if they'll fit, the guy says 5x112 17x8 et40. I'm just waiting for him to tell me hub and lug sizes. I figure even if they don't look right with my car I could probably flip them for more cash..

Sometimes I wonder the same thing.

should I get matte black rs4 reps and tint and swap suspension with h&r race springs instead? which are probably still too low and rough for a dd

17X8 with 40 offset should tuck right in. Definitely something different to bring to the table and I'm sure you can re-sell them later on (especially now that those MKV guys are running 5X112)

Which RS4 reps are you talking about? B5 or B7? I think those wheels are too played (no offense to anyone who has them).
