Bummed. AEZ rims in 17" won't clear my brake upgrade. Other choices?

I am doign the BIRA stage 2 upgrade to my car soon. It uses S4 rotors and BoxsterS/Turbo 4-pot monoblock calipers.
Unfortunately, as much as I love the look of the AEZ rims (especially the Radons, Meow!), their spokes are cast back close enough to the mounting flange on the 17s that they will foul the caliper. I don't want to run spacers, and I would beat to hell 18s here on the mean streeets of Austin.
So its back in the hunt for me.
Any recommendations? Ace Lolas?

Really anywheel with a 35mm offset and spokes that run to the edge of the rim (all of the AEZ rims spokes go inward which limits caliper clearance). Also, anywheel that fits the S4 will work too because it had HUGE brakes.

... the O.Z. F1 Racing Multipiece in 18x8 will fit over the Alcon B-type brake upgrade on the A4 without spacers. Also, these same wheels will fit over the Brembo 993 brake upgrade on the A4 with a 5mm offset spacer.
