    1997 Audi A4 2.8Q - advice needed

    good point, it certainly can start adding up once you start, and then like you say you are on 7k which is not far off an S4.. I think I will only change the wheels to the 17 or 18" RS4 (I think they are) I have always loved the look of the audi with these wheels, and I think leave it there...
