New Wheels Teaser - ADV10

**awhk82** · 10-04-2010 08:27 PM

These babies finally arrived my friend's shop after 3 months of ordering. Here my some images taken by my friend and I will have them installed later today and take some more pictures.

ADV10 (not deep concave) 20x9.5 ET18 all around. Gunmetal polished centre with gloss black lip.

Whats wrong with the HRE's? You got tired of them? I love those wheels. These look nice also though

**awhk82** · 10-04-2010 09:44 PM

Just don't feel like running big spacers with the HRE's as those were made for my previous B8 A4. Most important, I am fancy for a new look

**mikechan929** · 10-04-2010 10:54 PM

I will take ur HRE if possible....LoL.....!

**Bryan** · 10-04-2010 11:21 PM

**Okan509** · 10-05-2010 05:52 AM

It took just over 2 months for my DPE. So 3 months delivery time not too far off especially since he's overseas and customs always a b!tch.

**awhk82** · 10-05-2010 09:06 AM

So update and few crappy iphone pics...

It had taken 3 months because ADV1 had made a wrong set of wheels for me, and they have remade and delivered the wheels for another 6 weeks lead time as promised. First impression of the wheels is they are very well made and feels more expensive than my HRE monoblok due to the optional finishes. It looks more concave in person than the pictures posted above. The lip is about 2.5". Wheel weight is light for this size of wheel, but is noticeably heavier than the HRE Monoblok when lifting each of them back to back. Only issue is that each of wheels has 2 valve stem holes, one at the middle of the rim and the other at the edge of the inner lip, and no valve stems were included with the wheels (the HRE's didn't came with valve stems as well). Lucky that the shop had some extra short valve stems (requires adapter to pump air) for the middle hole.

Again, the wheels are 20x9.5 ET18 all around and they are very flush to the front and rear fenders. The 265/30-20 Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT looks little poked when mounted. The rears rubbed once when going over a big dip. i will try increase the stiffness of the front and rear shocks by one level and see if it helps. Any other suggestions on minimize the rub?

Will try to post proper images later this month when BBK are installed.

**CLOUT** · 10-05-2010 10:17 AM

**Tommy@Nemesis** · 10-05-2010 10:33 AM

**teky929rr** · 10-05-2010 10:34 AM

I'm liking the HRE a tad bit better. But the sportback is still just pure sex no matter the wheels!

**WantAvant** · 10-05-2010 11:13 AM

Badass

**Bryan** · 10-05-2010 11:29 AM

**staticuxo** · 10-07-2010 10:52 AM

wow, looks great! i want an s5 sport back!

**green a6** · 10-07-2010 11:50 AM

wheels fit your car well

**pakman0206** · 10-08-2010 07:29 AM

did you have a hard time mounting your wheels to your car? How was the fit in the hub centre? tight?

**Blake P** · 10-08-2010 11:40 AM

The new wheels look good, but I must admit I prefer your old HRE's. Did ADV decide on those wheel specs? I'm curious why they only went with low offset 9.5" when I thought the S5 could handle significantly wider wheels/tires.
As for rubbing, I'm sure the trouble spot is where the bumper and quarter panel meet. You can try shaving/grinding that area a bit to see if there's enough material to remove and avoid rubbing. Otherwise, I don't think there's any material that a fender roll would help. Maybe heating them with a heat gun and "pulling" them slightly with a fender roller would give a few mm of extra clearance and not make the fenders look funky. I'm sure if you went with a tire like Nitto INVO that has a more rounded sidewall there would be no rub.

The wheel fitment is perfect just like other hub centric wheels.

Actually I have decided the width and offset as I wanna run OEM sized tires all around so I estimated the lowest offset I can go with, but unfortunately, I think I have gone a bit too far. Thanks for your suggestions, I will do a 4 wheels alignment after the BBK's and will check which of these solutions can do. Hopefully, they only rub at the spot you were talking about.

**flandog** · 10-09-2010 11:29 AM

I always prefer the silver wheels

why PS?

**BBSGS4** · 11-03-2010 04:20 AM

Spotted @ The One last night, it looks 10times better in person! My Adv1 should be here in a month!

**awhk82** · 11-03-2010 08:05 PM

Tested fitted with the Brembo 380 kit and the wheels wouldn't clear the calipers at all. Damn! Probably need to order a less concaved face for the front from ADV1 or the worse case 2 front wheels...

**awhk82** · 12-10-2010 08:34 AM
