18" vs. 19"
Within the next few weeks, I'm going to throw some BBS rims on, but can't decide whether to go with 19" RS-GTs or 18" RGRs. Obviously the RS-GT is a better wheel, but I'm afraid of the ride stiffness. Also I need all weather tires because I do the occasional snow day, and it rains a lot here in winter (trying to avoid 2 sets). Anybody have any input to help out?

Go RS-GT 18"x8.5 for all round comfort and performance. Looks great!

I'm leaning towards the 18" RGRs
which are a smidge lighter than the 18" RSGTs, but if you want all seasons, I think you can find more at the 18" diameter than the 19" diameter. But I could be wrong.

Do those work with the TPMS?
because when I was lookin on tirerack.com, only the 19" RSGTs showed for TPMS. Also not sure if the bolt pattern on the 18" works for the audi model.

Looks good, but the prices are insane. $880 per wheel for 18"!
