Default Wheels then suspension or the other way around to improve look of B7 A4?

I want to get some 19'' TSWs, but I have the non sport suspension and think that the wheel gap will still make the car not as ideal looking as I want. I have a guy who will sell me his Audi sport springs, so I want to know what I should do first to improve the look of the car. Handling is a priority too and the sport springs will help that, but do I need them to improve the look of the car with 19'' wheels? What should I do first or do I need a combination of the two options? Anyone have pics of their B7 A4 with the Audi sport suspension and 19s, or do you recommend 18s with the sport suspension? Thanks ahead of time.

Default Best way to improve looks is to trade it in for a B5 A4.

Made ya look! ;-)

Default go with 18"s - sure 19's will look better but not handle as well.

and spend the money difference on coil overs rather than a used sport suspension.

The springs were taken off a new A4 and replaced almost immediately. My thing is are sport audi springs going to lower the car a decent amount? From what I'm reading it doesn't sound like it will. Coilovers are still a bit out of my range right now, so it has to be springs and wheels.

I'd save your money on the Sport suspension - and I think the shocks are different too.
