Avus wheels are not stock on C5 s-line cars, or any other for that fact -

Some seem to call the 9 spoke RS's Avus. True here?

I don't think I have ever heard anyone call the 9-spoker an "avus" wheel...more likely "RS4"

Default If you are talking about the 18" 9-spoke "S-line" wheel that comes standard on the 2004, width is 8"

full specs are 18x8" ET43 offset with 235-40-18 summer tires (from the factory), pictured below on my former car

The no-cost "optional" 9-spoke wheel for the 2004 S-line is 17x7.5" ET43 offset with 235-45-17 all-season tires (from the factory), pictured below on my former car.

Oh, and THESE are "Avus" wheels below...

Default Avus wheels:

These are the wheels known as Avus, after the Avus show car from the '90s that had wheels much like this. They were standard equipment on the previous generation of "S" cars e.g. my S6 above (not to be confused with "S-line").
