Get 18s... 19 is too big... wont look classy, itll look cartoonish.
17s are best for performance/looks on these cars, 18s are good for a lil more "bling" w/o too much perf loss/crappy ride.

For pure aesthetics, the 18" wheels look correct while the 19" wheels look too big for a B5 A4
Just my opinion, of course. At 19 inches the amount of rubber between the wheel and the road surface is very thin, maximizing a rough ride. Not that the eighteen inch wheels are that much better but you have a bit more rubber cushioning the ride. Either way, expect a stiffer, rougher ride, but that's the trade-off for looks.
Good luck

It looks hot..but when taking sharp turns, having ANYONE in the back seat, or in my case, trying to find new tires you'll have a problem. I'm thinking of trading up for some 18's but I cant bare to get rid of mine. Anyone know of someone in need for a sweet 19'' H.R.E powdercoated black?? Might be better for an A6

i am sold i guess 18's it is cheeper tires and i can banch harder on them, i broke a 17 inch rim on my integra on a mian road in VT, i guess 19's are for city slickers.
