Those wheels you posted the link to will likely not fit because they seem to be built for previous A4's with smaller hub diameters. Be sure to confirm with the vendor before ordering. 19's with the right specs and tire size will have no issues with lowering. With a $1k budget I'd stick to VMR's for an inexpensive well made set of wheels.

Finishline is a pretty flaky company from what I've heard. Hartmann has some of the best quality wheels around and has a lot of product and fitment knowledge. Achtuning has a sale on Hartmann wheels for the B8s currently if you want to check them out.
