    Couple of options I guess.

    Cheap from tempe or similar company.

    An Audi/VW wheel from another model, eg TT/S3.

    Order from Tire Rack in the USA, other dude got 17s for $1600 or something, and said there were cheaper options.

    Off the top of my head, something from OZ, 16" would look sick.

    edit: I know someone else on here has these (or a fake version), but http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price

    What colour is your car?

    What is your budget for rims and tyres?

    Is the tyre (handling / noise / wear) important to you?

    I'm having the same trouble deciding as well Jas

    I just got this quote for Tire rack which is really cheap for OZ wheels delivered!

    Anthony,
    Thank you for your inquiry. The total price for four of the wheels is $948.00. Shipping is in addition to this amount and is as follows:

    FED EXPRESS (2-3 DAY)- $ 412.57
    FED ECONOMY (3-5 DAY)- $ 287.96

    We only accept payment through Australian banks by wire transfer.

    for these http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

    And these BBS are cheap also and 17x7.5 if you don't want to go 17x8
