Sorry, I misspoke. I'm running A4 S2 on the A4 (S4 rotors which are 
321x30). I'm hoping to find a set of S1 A4 brackets so I can upgrade my C5 A6.

Guess all your offers of 16" wheels are for naught. I do have a spare 
set of 17" wheels, need to find tires...

Oh, and speaking of wheels and tires, my son just called. He's 
driving my A6 today. And it has a flat tire. And the A4 still has a 
bent rim. Guess I'll be getting both taken care of tomorrow!
