wheels and tire upgrades for A4

[Mrsoul55@aol.com]

Hi everyone.  I just joined this group and actually just bought an Audi A4
1.8T.  I am looking to do upgrades to the car but I am going to start with
upgrading the wheels.  I want to move to 17" wheels and have been considering
a 5 spoke model by ABT.  I don't know which model name it is.  Does anyone
have any other suggestions for wheels besides ABT?  I have looked on the Tire
Rack Pit Stop thing but didn't really see anything I liked.
Also, what is a good size tire to go with?  235/45 17?  I want to lower the
car a little bit to get rid of excess space in the wheel well so I need
something that will fit.  I certainly don't plan on lowering it very much but
I think it will play a part in the wheel size.
Thanks for any help.
