re: Flik Justice 17's or 18's?? Already did forum search.. please post thoughts.
ok.. so I'm planning to upgrade my wheels from stock sport wheels, but need advice from audi virtuosos on whether to go 17's or 18's.
The wheels i'm looking at are the Flik Justice.. My concerns are price, performance, durability, looks (not necessarily in that order).
Additionally, if i plan to get bigger brakes, will 18's pose a problem, in any way?
Any helpful replies are appreciated.
TIA.

If you have decent roads then get 18". I drive on some really rough roads everyday and chose to go
with 17". 19"s are fine for some, but then you are sacraficing performance for looks, which I personally won't do (the car's slow enough as it is). Also 19"s have a significantly smaller sidewall so you are going to be more succeptable to bending your wheel if you hit a pothole.

I've had the 18's for 3 months now...

is that with stock shocks? if not, which shocks and how's the ride?
thanks and sorry for so many questions. one of the things i'm thinking about for my next mod is a suspension upgrade and i'm trying to learn as much as i can from other people's experiences
