LOVE the S5 wheels anyway to get them or replicas to work?
 
I LOVE the look of the S5 wheels. In fact I almost was willing to suck-up the higher cost, poor gas mileage and worse handling just because they look so good on the S5.(Car is a looker as well)

Went for the S4 and am waiting for delivery.(Have settled for stock 18" wheels)

Is there any way to get the S5 wheel, or replica wheel to fit?

I have seen this discussed but have seen no resolution.

I wouldn't be comfortable with my tires rubbing.

Anyone have an answer for this?

Pictures would be great as well.

S5 wheel offset pretty low for our car. ET32 IIRC.

19" here but sold out: http://hartmannwheels.com/audi-wheels#wheel14

18" here... if you are looking for high quality you may want to stick with the above link!


Here is a crappy cell phone pic of my car with some cheap 18" S5 reps for winter. Paint finish on them is not great but who cares for dirty winters.
18x8, et35, 5x112, 66.56 center bore.

Here is another website that has some good replicas:

www.eurotechwheels.com

I got my 18" Ti knockoffs there and they were a great price and very high quality. They also package their shipped wheels like they plan to drop them in your driveway from an airplane! :) It was really impressive!

If you don't see the S5 wheels on the website, call them. They have had them there in the past for the S4 and may still have them in stock.

Here's another site with hub centric (66.6mm) S5 replicas. I bought a set of S5 Cabriolet replicas (Y-Spoke) wheels from these people and was very satisfied with customer service, price and quality.

Quick question here, for 18x8 on the B8 S4, is stock 35mm or 45mm offset?
Will either fit?

Both will fit but Stock I believe is 47mm. I don't really notice the 35mm offset looking that much different on my car from stock. Make sure you get a wheel with the correct center bore as some places do not list it: 66.6 or 66.56.

These are the stock Canadian spec 18" rims for 2010. Aren't they the same as the S5 rims?

Yes they are. But they look different in the 19" version because the spokes are 1" longer.

Where can one get those Canadian wheels. That is exactly what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know who makes them for Audi?

Any Canadian owners interested in selling?

Thanks
