And I'm thinking about downgrading my 10.1" rotors to
9.4" rotors so I can fit 13" wheels for autoxing... :-)

15s or 16's. It's really hard to find a proper sized 205 tire smaller than
15. And, most people would agree with me here: 17's are too big and heavy
(for an A2) unless you're putting out a LOT of power. IMHO 15" wheels with
205/50 (or 195/50) are the best idea. If you really want the 'big wheel'
look and don't mind spending more money, consider 16", but realize the
drawbacks (extra cost, unsprung weight, rotational mass, and rolling
radius). 17" wheels exacerbate these problems and are just for show unless
you have a modded VR6 or turbo 16V under the hood to spin them!
