My 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback gets new shoes!
 
Okay have had prior good experiences with HRE as an aftermarket wheel makes and their Form Flow wheels have so far proven to be strong and economical from a purchase stand point as compared to some of their and other offerings from BBS and likewise. So as I enjoyed the HRE FF-115's that I had on my prior '15 BMW M3; I decided to give them a go for my new Audi RS5 SB. Ordering was easy and straightforward (thanks Kevin at ModBargins for the assist) and wheels arrived last week after intial order and custom pain/color. Went with Fog to match the Dayton Pearl Gray paint but without the sheen/luster that their Anthracite would have had. Perfect IMHO.

Just got back from dealership and install/swap out of my OEMs for a set of new HRE's FF-04 at 20x10.5" went well. HRE knocked it out the park..awesome fit and finish if you ask me turned out nicely. Many of the sales and service staff were impressed. I did decide to re-use my OEM Conti 275/30 ZR20 tires tthat came with my Black Optics and Dynamic Package upgrade upon delivery of the car last month. That worked out okay but I do think think I'll need to move up to 285/30 ZR20's to fit best on these 20x10.5" wheels. So look for my take off Conti's for sale soon on the forum likely as Tire Rack here i come. Anyway interested in thoughts and of course but so far so good! :) Enjoy these initial quick iPhone pics.

Looks fantastic! Love the Daytona Gray with B/O Package and dark wheels. Makes the red calipers pop. Stealth all the way! +1!

Looks great! What size of spacers did you end up with? Look like 10 or 12mm?

Thanks. Went with 10mm all around. Not super aggressive but allows brake clearance without any rubbing.

Those look really nice. A nice simple elegant design. That color will hide brake dust nicely and the design lends itself to easy cleaning with some wheel woolies. I may steal your idea for my sonoma RS. Probably in black though. Not loving the BO wheels.
