Thanks,
I got them in eBay Germany, they are original from the Audi RS6 but you should be able to get them in eBay United Stares too. Just look for Audi RS6 21" wheels and they should come up, they come in black, silver and antricite.
Take care,

Did you do lowering springs as well? The wheels look awesome and I've checked out the Hartman wheel line but feel I would be regretting not getting the real deal. Will they fit the S-line 2.0T premium model before I go ordering them?

Thanks!

Yes, I put the KW variante 2 adjustable sport suspension. If you mean a Q5 s-line 2.0 liters the answer is yes, these wheel will fit any Q5. With the ET of 25 you won't need to put spaces, they will be right at the fender well but won't stick out. The only tires you can use with these wheels is the 275X35 in 21 inches or the one I have, 295X35 in 21 inches. If you use something different that this it will look funny because the wheels are too wide for something smaller.

Thanks,

Thanks for all your help! You've put me at ease about any doubts in regards to fitment on my Q5. In regards to the ET of 25? Can you explain further as not sure what you mean? Also the stance that Q5 has is superb. Does the KW variante 2 adjustable sport suspension help give it this look or will the stock suspension still be able to give it this look?

Thanks again for all my newbee questions even though I'm 56 yrs. old. Goes to show you can never stop learning!

No worries, I'm 59 and still making changes to my cars like I'm 20.

If you want the car to have a look like mine you have to replace the stock suspension at least the springs especially if you change for bigger wheels since the tire profile is going to be too low and it will look really funny with all that space under the fender.
I will recommend to go with KW Adjustable Height Spring Suspension Kit which you can use with the factory shocks (please see link below)KW Develops Adjustable Height Spring Suspension Kit for Audi Q5 and SQ5 - Fourtitude.com.
The best choice will be coil over sport suspension and it doesn't have to be variante 2, the lower you can get are variante 1 and also the cheapest. I got inox-line (aluminum) in my car but if you don't want to spend that much money you can get the steel one, please see the attached link so you see what I'm referring to. Online Store KW Suspensions

Thanks,

Hi again,

I forgot to explain what the 25 ET means, the original wheels ET is 33 but the wheel is 8.5 inches meaning the tires look more in from the fender but with the ET 25 and a 9.5 inches wheel the tire goes out around 1/2 of inch which it will make the tires look even with the fender if you look from the top, otherwise you would have to purchase spaces to bring the tires out. The cost of the spaces can be up to $200.00 plus the lug bolt have to be 1/2 of inch longer. I hope this will help you.

Thank-you for all your help!

I just purchased a set of identical rims to yours off E-bay in Germany. Should be here in Canada in about a week or so. Got sidetracked looking at the SQ5 21" rim of which the RS6 version won out in the end! They also don't sell the original RS6 in North America in that color combination which made me lust for it even that much more! All that said I'm hoping you can answer a couple more questions? Will I now need to get a longer wheel studs? Other than that I'll be ordering tires which brings to mind you mentioned your running 295 35 R21's. What brand are you running or do you recommend? I've heard bad reviews on the Pirelli"s ? What say you on Michelin's and or Dunlops?

Lastly can you send me or post some more pictures of your ride? I love the stance and you've got it nailed down on that : )

Thanks again!
