The power the S5 has is plenty to get a 275/285 30 series tires rolling. They do not weigh as much as people think.

Looks like a replica of the VFF103. They're great looking wheels. I was going back and forth between the 102 and 103 but decided on the 102 because I like the simplicity. I believe that the 103 doesn't require spacers on an S5 fitment, which would be a bonus.

You're right it does look the same, i hadn't even seen the VFF103 before. Are the Vorsteiners a better wheel?

EDIT: right after I posted this I searched and found that another member INCINER8 has the VFF103s. I had seen the post just didn't realize it was the same wheel. I like 'em!

Vorsteiner are just about the best.

Tbh I'm still a bit nervous about how much sidewall bulge I'm going to get run in 275s on a 10" wheel. I'm hoping I'm happy with the results
