Default cheap 18" twists for 89 S4 - 8.5"et52 & 10"et65 *or* 8"et50 & 10"et47 ?

I know neither is ideal, but I love the way twists look on a 928 and I'm tired of trying to find like-new 17" twists with better offsets.

Sorry, was trying to get to the point in the subject line

I am going to buy cheap replica turbo twists for my 89 S4. There seems to be two sets generally available, and wondering which is the better choice (knowing neither is a great fit)

18x8.5 et52
18x10 et65

*or*

18x8 et50
18x10 et47

(I'd prefer 17's, and have seen seen sets of 17x7 et55 and 17x9, but every set I see is banged up)

7x17 ET55 and 9x17 ET?? is only one where front wheel stays in "normal zone" I think and thats why its only one that is "safe bet". 8x18 ET50 is sort of ok but geting to "dangerous zone".

I'm running these MM replica Turbo Twists on my S4, and had them on my '85. I love them. Have not noticed any adverse handling effects.

Ft: 18 x 8 1/2", offset of 52: 225/40 ZR18
RR: 18 x 10", offset of 65: 265/35 ZR18
