Finally have Flat Bottom Wheel on my 2021 RS5

[scott1961]

With the help of Alex at Europrice now have a flat bottom wheel on my 2021 RS5. Still waiting for the new airbag so hooked up with old one just to make sure everything worked and no faults. Lane assist worked fine along with all buttons. Only thing I lost is the (*) button, but not a big deal as I had assigned it to garage door but now just use the touch screen for that. While this wheel is heated I can't turn it on since no button on wheel for that, guess on the RS6 that this wheel is from heat for wheel is turned on from touch screen. Not a big deal here either as i always opt for flat bottom on my cars and they don't have heat anyways. Wheel is smaller in diameter and looks much better

Looks nice! The only thing that annoys me about this wheel (aside from the few non-functions) is that it's the same width as the round wheel. As much as I like the flat bottom, the thing I liked the most about the "round airbag" flat bottom wheel was that it was slightly smaller in diameter.

While not a big amount it is slightly smaller overall

Love it! I'm with you and miss my flat bottom wheel. I can't tell from my end, but being a RS6 wheel, what's the logo on the bottom, get it fitted with RS5?

Looks like it just says RS.

Haha. Been awhile since I looked, but now that you say that, it shouldn't have a # with the RS. Thanks!

I wonder if any of the wheel builders could have done one for you. Looks good though

I would like to now send out and do carbon fiber top and bottom but am worried that will screw up the touch sensor

Hmm. That’s a good question. I’m guessing one of them would know.

Got the airbag today, much nicer than the stock plastic one. This is leather with stitching

Looks great man! Have you had a chance to check if the hands on detection works like before?
