Hi a24u, welcome to the A2oc
I don't recall any club members submitting pictures of rs8 alloys but there are loads of posts in the archives about alloys an 17" rims are probably the optimum size but you need to get the right offset to avoid rubbing.
I've included one link to previous posts but do seperate searches for 'alloys' and 'replica' (without the quotes) for more info.

Hi, Welcome a24u.
Usually with A2's the smaller size wheel, the better ride. Sports suspension can be a bit hard, but excellent grip. I have standard 16" alloys, i would guess 17" would be a good size to get, unless you plan to change the suspension too. Skipton or spike are very good on here for giving useful info.
