Default Help with Wheel choice/S5

Guys need some help to make wheel decision!
I currently have some RS7 wheels on but debating if I should go with RS5 Blk rotors instead. I find RS7 wheels look a little better on 4 doors than on coupe.
I'm about to pull the trigger on Blk Rotors and sell mine so need advise here!
Thx!!

Default Regardless of the aesthetic choice...

… mind the offset. The wheels may not be directly compatible, even though their 5x112 lug spacing will allow you to bolt them up. You might consult the Tire Rack or other provider. Even my 2014 S4 and 2014 S5 had different offsets between them. I am big fan of the black rotors on my RS5…

Happy Motoring

Eric

Hey Eric, thx for the advise.The RS5 wheels fit the S5. There's many members on Audi's forum that have them on. My concern was more regarding which wheels looks better.
Btw I LOVE the wheels on your ride

Black RS5 rims on a black S5 would look nice.

The wheels on the black car look cheesy to me. The key to a German sports sedan is finding the right mix of luxury and sport. A plush sedan that sits a little low on beefy BBS wheels, for example. It should be menacing/sporty, but still somewhat subtle.

The wheels on the black car look like the Asanti (not sure of spelling) wheels you see in magazine ads. They call to mind "bling", rather than "race".

I guess it's a question of taste & perspective. However I really don't see how you can compare the RS7 wheels to Asanti wheels....

Default 19 Rotors

I love the 19" rotors. One of the reasons I picked the A5.
