Dear Beetle Juice,

My friend has a Blue Beetle with 18" A8 rims and it looks fine.. If I were you, I would use 18" rims

Take Care.

I heart A8s... They are hawt! I have seen pics of 18s on a NB before, and they were gorgeous... I bet 17s would work too.

18 or 19 is ideal I have 18 right now and change with 19 or 20" rims

yes, 18 would be ideal, but I would still like to drive around comfortable, as I do a lot of kms a day...

This is the NB of Mem, a friend, with 18"...

I really like them, but my only "fear" is that 17" make the rims look too small

Hows the ride on the 18" RS4s? I'm planning on buying some, and my car is on stock suspension.
