Default winter wheels & tires

In addition to tirerack you might also wish to consider Audi's 2008 winter wheel program. I received a description from my dealer yesterday.

I mentioned to my dealer that I would want to pull the wheels on my S5 when it comes in and install the winter setup straight away. He told me that Audi has a "Winter Wheel Program" and sent me a pdf of a two page description. I suspect it will be much more expensive than going with Tire Rack, but if you happen to be very fond of Audi OEM rims then the premium might be worth it to you.

Default We have a few wheels on closeout for very low prices which will work on the A5

Recommend tires from Tire Rack

Just make sure you buy snow tires, and not all season tires.

For wheels, it depends on how much you want to spend. If you actually want to spend the money to have a nice set of winter wheels, or if you just want a stock set of winter wheels, and put tires on those.

There are several options for you. You could also jump on tirerack.com and check out the reviews that they have on there as well, if you don't want to call in right away.
