Default Good deal on 20" RS style Euro option wheels

Hi all,

I just got myself a 2009 CPO S5 coupe and just ordered a set of those wheels through a local dealer here in SoCal.
I think a lot of us have received the 15% discount on parts from Audi.

The RS wheel was on sale at the dealer at $600.
The price after applying the 15% discount is $510 before tax.

Just wanted to share this great deal to those in the market for the same wheels.

It's Audi in Mission Viejo (audimv.com).
Price is per wheel of course .

The replica from Hartmann is about $400 shipped each and is not as concave as the OE one. It was a no brainer for me going with OE wheels over replica based on the price difference.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, the weather has been pretty nasty in the OC this week. Will post better pictures next week.

I have spacers in front (12mm) and rear (15mm).
Tires are 265/30/20.

I like it lot now, it feels almost like stock suspension.
The installer initially set it too low and it was very harsh and stiff with the stock wheels & tires.
I had them rise a bit and it made a huge difference .
I now have (from the ground to the wheel well):
- 26" and 3/8 on the front.
- 26" and 1/8 on the rear.

I'd suggest you read this thread about the KW V2 on the A5/S5. Most of the owners use the default Rebound/dampening settings which are the same as on the V1 according the KW people.

Two quick questions...

Do you happen to have the part number for the wheels?

Why did you get the 15% discount?

They look great on your car.
