I recently got another set of 17" 5 spoke rims for my A4 Quattro 1.9 TDi Sport Avant. Then a set of 4 near new winter tyres, two Vredstein and two Avons off ebay (in Sept!) for £260
The car is awesome, there's a steep hill (1 in 4) close to me, it was covered in compacted snow, 2k revs in 2nd and it pulled all the way to the top, traction control light never came on once. I didn't really expect 235/45x17's to work well as I considered them too wide for serious snow traction. i'm suitably impressed. The only downside to the car is as it's a sport is low ground clearance.
