That would be a nice subtle look, I guess you would go with a 235?

You want to spend probably close to 1k for .5 inch wider wheel? Am I missing something.

Default yeah I'd like to go with same size and look but wider...

then again, the wheel will probably cost more than the RSS's or will be close to the Sportecs. Does anyone know who much those S6 wheels are?

I've often thought of going to the S8 wheel, but they're so damn heavy.

Default The S8 Avus weighs less than the S4 Avus (more)

... don't ask me why, but

17x7.5 S4 Avus - 28.0 lb
18x8.0 S8 Avus - 27.2 lb

I can vouch for the weight of the S8 wheel (don't know for sure about the S4 Avus); but you're still right, both are heavy.

Default If you want bigger I would definately go with...

what someone said below. The 18 inch AVUS from the S8 are probably similar in price anyway to the S6 wheels and offer you added width along with a bigger rim. Would get rid of some fender gap too. I think this would be a good move...I would like to see the S8 rims on the S4.
