How hard core do you want to go? You want something lightweight, that's for sure. Check out the
Kosei K1-TS for a wheel. It's lightweight at around 17-18 lbs. in the 18" variety, cheap at about $265, very durable and has a dual bolt pattern for Audi and VW. Nice thing about that is you double your sales potential down the road if you decide to get rid of them. They also make a K3 and a couple other varieties.
For tires, either go with Sport Cups or if you're brave like I am, run Hoosiers.

Hey Jim - was in a similar boat. Selection seemed limited in 5x112 wider than 8.5 / 9"
Lots of options if you're willing to redrill 5.114.3, which is barely anything. A few enkei's stand out in my head...
Enkei NT03 M
18x9.5
5x114.3
ET27
19lbs
$292

Enkei GTC01
18x9.5
5.114.3
ET38 (run 10mm spacer?)
23lbs
$457

Enkei RPF1
18x9.5
5x114.3
ET38 (run 10mm spacer?)
19lbs
$324

Used to run RPF1's and they were nice and strong. Good brake clearance.
I ended up opting for 18x9 OZ Superleggeras that Ben Bauer sold me.
Good luck,
R

Thanks Robert. That's what I'm realizing; the Neuspeeds I run for street are
5 x 114's that were drilled out to 5 x 112. Can't even notice it. Have you tracked you RS yet?

Sure thing, Jim - good luck with the search...
And no, still putting the car together. Not sure if you talked with Kris, but "it" (not really an RS) won't be done for a little while, but should be a hoot when it's finished.
Will definitely be out to your area to drive some tracks with you guys next year when I have a running car again. Can't wait!
PS - the Neuspeeds look fantastic on your car. Was thinking of running them as well but ended up going with some 18" RC's. What size are those? I figured they must have been 19's, but since you've redrilled, guessing I was wrong?
