Your choices are going to be somewhat limited in that you're looking for 4 lug wheels. Many more choices for the 5 lug patterns. ROTA and Konig come to mind for reasonably priced 4 luggers. You might also want to look over the posts in the wheels/suspension/brakes forum. Probably more info there.

^ yah but those are probably still out of his price range, hes got a s4 se after all lol

Just dont settle for sportwacks!!!

I say save the wheel money and just put it towards 5lug swap and 5lug stockers for now. Spending the money on rims now, and still be a bottom of the line model

This is quite a bump... but I did find some good 4 lug rims afterall, I think they make the car look much more aggressive.

Here's my 86 SE, with 4 lug wheels. I found these American Racing five spoke wheels in silver; they have a hub cover that hides the 4 lugs. They are 17x7.5. The tires are 235/45 ZR-17s.

OK, the last pic was a dead link; let's try this.

Here is (really) my 86 SE with 4 lug hubs, and American Racing 17x7.5 wheels in silver.
