                Hi, thanks
        
            Thanks for your suggestion, but, for me, if I buy 16" rims, they
will
            be factory original. If I  buy tuner's wheel, it must be at
least 17".

                At this moment, I'm not sure what I should buy between 17"
and 16".
        17" is more beautiful, but with low profile tire,it will be damaged
when run on
        the moon (ah.. that's what we call our road ), and the ride comfort
is bad. 
          16"  doesn't look exciting, but with higher profile tires,it has
no problem
       running on the moon, and of course, privide better ride comfort. 

                The S4  front brake rotors are not the same as any rotors in
the world,
         so even S6 wheel might not fit it. ABT wheel fit well to my car, but
        seem like it is not designed to run on the moon.

                Oh, what should I do ????

                For tires,I'm very interesting in Bridgestone S-02 and
Yokohama Nexus 
        (or Nexas,I'm not sure), but in Thailand there is no 225/50-16
available,just
        235/45-17 available. If I choose 16" wheel, the tire will be Dunlop
SP8000, which
        , I think, a bit aged.
                Anyway, the troubles from bended ABT wheels is not big, just
shaking steering
        wheel at above 110 mph. So I have times to think,of course, who want
to pay
        $4000 just to solve the shake steering wheel.
