S5 Winter
Looking to get set for next winter. Could someone make some suggestions as to what rims look good on a S5, and what winter tire people have had success with. Thanks

Dunlop D3's are THE winter tire, rims...your choice.

Love the Nokians, but everytime...
I mention them in AW, nobody cares...lol...so this is the first I didn't mention and YOU show up...looooool! This is really too funny.
I agree, great tire, the best winter offering imo. I agree.
I guess I'll know better the next time I do this, lol.

Dunllop Winter Sport 3D
Unbelievable grip in rain, sleet, snow, and ice.
We have had over 50 inches of snow so far in Chicago and these tires have performed flawlessly through it all.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMake%3D Dunlop%26amp%3BtireModel%3DSP%2BWinter%2BSport%2B3 D">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=SP+Winter+ Sport+3D</a></li></ul>

Heard that A5/S5 have new hub, and most aftermarket wheels don't fit, or have to have centerbores machined. Anyone know anything about this?
Would want to get decent looking 18" rims for winter tires, but this news makes it difficult.

My good friend in Boston and formerly from Burlington, VT...
