Default I bought then from audi direct, I was impatient and wanted something new so I picked these up.

They are 19x9. got them for a little under $500 each from the dealer.

One note though, if you decide to go titanium ed rs4 style wheels, you will have to get a competent machine shop that knows how to lathe or mill wheels within factory tolerances or you may experience wheel vibration.

All in all not bad pricing for the whole package even with the milling.

Default thanks for the clarification. I blame Remote Desktop for that - lol

Never surf the web directly on your work computer - haha

Default What is the code for those wheels? Are they plain RS4 wheels? I had the feeling ..

I had the feeling RS4 wheels would not fit on the S5 (different offset or sizes), am I wrong?
Can you fit 265s on those safely? Do you know the weight of those tires?

I really want similar rims (my S5 will be quartz grey.. in a few months ).

Very very very nice car..
