Yeah RXs look like the ones I'm after, I'm convinced 16" (if there are any that exist with the right stud pattern) would definitely look too small. Maybe I should do some research to see if there's something I can change on my ancient suspension set-up (I think the Konis were fitted about 1998) that'll keep it from being a bit squidgy as my standard 3B was but also give the supple ride I get from the bigger sidewall I now have.

I know where your coming from Jack. I have about 4 sets of wheels to swap through. 2 sets of 18's and two sets of 16's. One are the Avus, one are the 3B rims (My avant is very very early and came with these standard so i had them redone and they are my favourite), a set of A8 sports (18") and another later set of Audi S6 rims (?) I also have a set of Merc dished 17's to sort out for it. Get a mix of wheels so you can chop and change for the look/ need or feeling you want.
I have had to explain to everyone why I drive an avant (Same as yours in colour). My previous car was a bright red Coupe lookign quite nice. Everyone laughs at me for going old man styled but then when they try following me or come out in the car with me they always understand...
A few years ago I went camping and loaded the avant with all the stuff, the surfboards and girlfriend with all her stuff. A mate that hadnt seen the car before was taking the mic big time. I soon shut him up by absolutely blitzing it up a hill fully loaded down in cornwal.... His mapped and messed around with Mk4 golf GT TDI didnt stand a chance.... They all soon learn including some of the later S4's, Subaru's and some Porsches.... especially the Coxsters!

I think our Avants are very similar - both originally supplied with 3B-style five spokers, got one of those in the boot as spare still. Has yours got anthracite cloth quattro script and carbon trim?

It does indeed mate. Originally with orange indicator lenses too. Thing is does yours have roof rails? Mines early enough that it doesn't have them, never did. In my opinion looks better without too but never found a roof rack to fit. Just as well I have a van for that and my surfboards for in the car lol!
