They are 17", whereas A4/A6 are 16". Just looked at them a few hours
ago, while checking on the status of my A4.

It's on the 18-wheeler now. Should be here tomorrow or Sat. No jokes,
please, I need this car before the snow not after, so let's collectively
hope that the *for the fourth time and counting will fail to
materialise*

BTW, my dealer (Don Rosen Porsche-Audi) has a black '94 S4 on the lot.
25kmi, fresh summer rubber on OEMs. Wood trim inside.
The paint looks like it has never seen a hand wash, but other than that
the car looks OK. Don't know the price, tho.
