After driving the S5 for a couple of weeks...
After driving my new phantom black S5 for two weeks, I am more in love with the car now that I was before. I am so glad I decided to get this car. The more I look at it, the more I like the design of this car. It rides so smooth it is unreal. After a short time, you really begin to appreciate the interior layout. All of the controls I use regularly are situated right under my hand. After I got used to it, I couldn't see having them positioned any other way. It's perfect. If there was one complaint, it would be that there are no seatbelt adjusters. I would like to be able to adjust the shoulder strap to a more comfortable position depending on how I am sitting.
Anyway... I am not crazy about the factory rims on this car. They aren't bad, but I think the car would look even better with the right rims. I would likely go 20". What do you think about these rims on a black S5? http://customwheel.com/custom_wheels...oducts_id/8418 They kinda remind me of the rims I saw on a red RS4 I saw the other day. |

HRE's are beautiful but expensive. Personally i would go with 19s max on the s5, but thats your decision. I think those wheels would look very nice.

I agree.
At $8k for a set of HREwheels in 20" with no tires, it certainlycostsa prettypennyto be unique and stand out from the rest. ;) |

Nice wheels all around. They shouldn't be too heavy with being a multipiece forged wheel. You may also want to look at forgiato's wheels. Very high quality and I just did a set of 22" on a customers 2008 A8L. Very light lighter than stock 18" by far and looked amazing with staggered offset.
