Indeed, each to their own and I think the original poster knows what he'd like. I'm 'only' 42. I used to have 17s on my 90 20v, Bilstein and Eibach springs. Looked and handled great. But it depends if you want any comfort. It's all a compromise. I've found the best blend of handling and comfort is the standard sport suspension setup. I like to occasionally drive her hard but more often I like to cruise comfortably and not wince at speed bumps - but I'm old too. If you want a blend of comfort and handling, Audi have already done the hard work

EDIT: there's one tempting reason I might ever go bigger than 15" - to get a better selection (and value) of tyres. Not much choice for 205/50/15s these days, although the new Vredesteins I went for are pretty good.
