Question Need some idea for new set of wheels.

Thanks for looking. I need some ideas from other Audi owners ((: Right now I have a Gun metal Flik justice 18" on my black on black 2000 A4.Up close the rims are curved and beat to near death.I would like to drop down to 17". I was thinking about getting a 17"BBS CV Finish: Bright Silver Paint, but before i decide I was wondering what other people think looks good on black and black A4. Any ideas, post and pictures are highly appreciated.
Looks like this.

Those wheels, BBS LM reps, HP Lightnings, or Oettinger five spokes would all be great. Silver looks fantastic on a black car - helps to break up the darkness of the rest of the car.

ImTheDevil & Andrew149 - Thanks for the post. ImTheDevil, I looked up some pictures of the rims you named and they all looked good on B5s. I do like the Flik wasps and the BBS style rims. i found these on ebay.

I have to say I like the Flik Wasp (that's what is on my car in my sig lol), but I sold them to another AF member a few weeks back (come on Tyler, get those damn things on the car lol). Had 'em for almost two years, which for me is an eternity when it comes to wheels. I can tell you from experience though, they really do look good on the car. If you got a set, you'd definitely like them. FYI, the Flik Artik is the same wheel without the riveted rim section that the Wasp has (which makes it look like a multipiece wheel, even though it is not).
