Huh,

I never thought about those wheels...I've been looking for a set of 
17" snows for my A4 to go over Boxster S calipers. I now have 2 
partial sets and no 17" wheels yet.

If the Avus wheels fit over these brakes on the A4, I could move over 
my old snow tires when I replace them...the A4 gets parked for the 
winter, but it would be nice to have snows on the car in case I need 
to drive it...

Hmmm...
