How do you have money for all this if you're still at the age that you argue with your parents? I don't see how you could afford an S4. How fast do you feel the need to go? Why do you want to sell your car because it's auto? Have you ever even driven stick? Or do you just want it because it's cool and you want to try to impress people that don't know how to drive? From the way you talk, I get the impression that you don't think too hard about your decisions you make with your car. I'm not trying to be so offensive, but that's just what it seems like. It also seems like you don't actually know so much about cars. You tried to convince that a 35mm offset is needed. I can't picture you being ready for an S4 from what I read from you. Why are you buying new wheels in the beginning of winter if you want your stocks for a winter set? Do you even know how much you will be spending to use the new wheels? Wheels, tires, install, alignment, possible hubcentric rings and lug bolts isn't that cheap. If you want 18" tires that will last you a while it's going to be costly. You're going to have to be more careful with potholes and everything with thinner tires. It doesn't take too much to bend a wheel. If you want fast, I think you should spend money on more performance mods and just buy a good used set of wheels and tires if you really want them. The demand for wheels during winter is pretty low, so you should be able to find pretty decent prices from private sales. Check forums other than just AF. For now, I think you should reconsider the Enkeis. Personally, I think they take away some of the classyness of an Audi. I'm sure you could find a different, cheaper set some time by the end of winter that you would like more. Sorry if I ended up sounding offensive, just trying to give advice.
EDIT: Or have you ever considered just painting your wheels? You could get them to look not too bad..
I know they're not the same, but you could do something like that to save a lot of money.

That car is not mine. The Audi rings pop off so it shouldn't be hard to paint those wheels like that.

If they are cheaper than a set of coilovers.. Then sure..
And I've never been a fan of those types of wheels.. They look good on some a4s but it's not my cup of tea...

Bagging is definitely more expensive than coilovers.
The B7 RS4 wheels aren't bad. I would stay more classy, and OE. You seem to change your mind a lot. Here's a good thread for inspiration, even though it seems like most of the stuff probably isn't your style. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3592536&page=1
