19" 5 Arm Rotor Design Titanium Wheel for RS5?

Does anyone know if the 19" 5 Arm Rotor Design Titanium Wheel in the 2014 A5 Brochure will fit on an RS5? I like the Rotor design and wanted a smaller diameter wheel for winter tires than the 20" I have for summer tires. thanks

Just talk to the parts department at your dealer to check the sizes. Having said that, you might want to consider a replica wheel if it's just for winter wheel duty. Take a look at Hartmann wheels as they have a much cheaper alternative with almost the exact same design.

P.S. If you like the Hartmann wheels, go to Discount Tire and buy the wheels through them for a discount over the direct price.

They have a direct relationship with Tirerack so if u order your tires from them, they will mount and balance the tires on the rims before shipping out.

I bought a set of 19" Hartmanns from this site, and am very pleased with the results.
