Default Especially with the unpainted lowers similar in colour to your Dophin, I say it'll be fine

Besides, you need to mod one step at a time: painted lowers can come later if you can get a good deal on the wheels now

Default I am planning on putting "new to me OEM 17s" on this Spring, but....

now I am thinking that the 17s will be to small. Since there happens to be a few sets for sale on the various Audi Classified boards right now I'm thinking of maybe going for the extreme (extreme for me that is) and stepping up to 18s.

I want to find someone in the Boston area that might be willing to let me try out their 18 Avus wheels before I make the leap.

Default You could ask "ming/moro FOURTWO"...

he has a set of the 18" S4 Avus wheels from his S4 Avant. I think he replcaing those with something else.

Would look nice, but you've got to deal with that suspension first!

Default I know. I know. I'm becoming like you I just can't stop thinking of wheels.

Don't worry the suspension will be done soon enough.

I have a Ming Blue (unpainted lowers) 03 1.8TQ with sport and 17" S4 Avus as my winter package and I think it looks good. They have a more aggressive offset than the stock sport rims (soon to be replaced by 18" RS4s) and fit the wheel well nicely.
