Heh, heh...I wonder who that could be! After having given it some thought, I think I'm going to...
stick with my initial plan. IMO, a set of 12" Colemans with Boxster S calipers will be a good year-round setup that will allow me to enjoy improved braking even during the winter.
You're fortunate to have the Coupe for the winter months, but I have to drive my A4 all year. I guess I'd rather have VERY GOOD braking in all months than EXCELLENT braking in the summer and TERRIBLE braking in the winter.
But a good compromise might be for me to buy a set of 17's with snow tires and pick up the TDL Racing Big Red kit. That kit will definitely fit under my Oettingers, and I'm pretty confident that they would fit under a set of 17's...say, R28s?
BTW, how much are you selling them for? What tires do you have on them? Let me know. I'll have to give it some thought, because buying another set of wheels is just one more expense, but I'd like to know the numbers anyway.

OK, you're torturing me here...but I think I'll just be happy with my TDL 230 Conversion...
and VERY GOOD year-round braking. I picked all of the leaves off of my money tree, if you know what I mean.

I think I'm going to try and sell the wheels ONLY for $450
But since you're already in Pittsburgh, I'd probably let them go a little cheaper...
However, you'd probably be looking at $550 just to get tires...
