Default S5 Rims and Winter Wheels

So... I just bought a black S5 and am not crazy about the rims. They are the 19s and they aren't bad, so I am thinking about getting snows for those rims so the car looks good in the winder and getting a set of 20s for the summer. It is my understanding that wheels that fit on the RS4 will work on the S5. I like rims like the Maya Black Diamond, but am open.

What rims do you think would look good on an S5? What do you think about snows on the 19s?

My understanding is it's better to drop a size for winter set up. I just got a RS 4 and plan on going with 18" to get a little more rubber for what I am sure will be some bad roads in the winter

Well honestly i think most people drop sizes in the winter just to be cost effective....19" snows will be spendy.. but a good idea... I would check to see about 20" on the s5, it may clear.. I honestly have no idea what sort of clearance there is on the car...

The black diamond is actually a color or finish, its not the actual wheel..but the maya's are nice.. maya STM probably? finished in black diamond would be very nice on black. Another one you should look at is the DPE brand. They have a finish called liquid cinder that i think would be amazing on black...
