interestingly enough, i weighted the stock 16" sport wheel/tire and it was 42 pounds (with the 205/55R16). the 17" IFG with michelin MXX3 in 225/45R17 weighed only 43 pounds! only a 1 pound weight increase for increased footprint and lower profile...i'm impressed.
an added bonus is that the 225s really fill out the fenders nicely. only now have i noticed that stock A4 tires look a little skinny from the rear of the car. now, the tires go to the edge of the fenders.
they're 17x8 and weigh less than 18 pounds each. they have an offset of ET35 and fit perfectly.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ifgwheels.com">IFG Wheels</a></li></ul>
