Need some Opinions (pics)

Bought this car in November, 2003 Audi A4 Q, 1.8T. I love it and love driving it. There are no mods on it as of now. I really want to keep the Factory Drivability of it. So I think it is only going to be a stage 1 chip, RS4 Rear Sway and a few other little things. It has these wheels on it and i am not sure what kind of wheel they are. If anybody has an idea what they are let me know. Also i am not sure if i like them so much on the car. let me know some opinions on the wheels. Also if anyone knows about the Bottom of the Drivers door trim looks like it is bubbling out or something. Love This Site also, Lots of great Info.

Yeah I think that is why I think they dont look good. They are 17's but i think because the spokes are so short is why they look so small.

I think that the bubbling out of that trim is a common problem on a4's. My trim doesn't sit as flush as it used to.

Those trim pieces are called door blades, all you need to do is undo the screws on the bottom of your door and they slide right off. You can probably find a new one for cheap.

My opinion:

Stage 1+ Reflash, injectors, DV, RS4 Sway. best bang for the buck (both power and handling) for about $1000.

Then ditch the small benz reps and pick up a set of USP, RS4 reps, or B7 S-line rims. Anything non-audi or larger than 18 and you'll really need to lower your car to pull off the look. But running 18in oem-like wheels on sport suspension looks decent.

How is stage 1+ reliability? Also how much more benifit is it over stage 1 vs. wear on turbo/engine? I like RS4 reps but think that they are overplayed. I like the B7 S-line wheels alot. Thanks for the responses!
