Let's see some pics of 5's with 19's

[Boosted3z]

Seems like most of you guys have 20's on your 5's. Let's see some of your rides with 19's. I'm in the market for wheels and would love some inspiration for my lowered black B8!

I'm on 20x10.5s and honestly think I like the look of 19s more than 20s, especially for a lowered car. Something about the ratio of rim to tire can sometimes look unbalanced depending on the wheel.

And you know what they say... "too much rim make the ride too hard"

Dug these up in the aftermarket wheel thread:

I need a proper photo shoot, but here you go, I'm on 19s with 265/35 PSS tires. Lowered on coils.

I agree with u 100%. not many of us thinks that, but good to know im not alone. I bought my incurves 20x10.5 thinking id love the look but honestly 20's is not for me. has nothing to do with ride quality or anything, but they just don't look right. 19's is perfect for me, esp on air. gives it a great stance when aired out. 20's just look broken

I'm in Houston... its always car season. Thought process is run factory p-zeros down first, but bought car in November so I have a ways to go. Driving this B as hard as I can though to speed up the process ;)

I may sell them... seems the Ti Rotors are popular and I could probably get a good head start on the Avant Gs. Holding them to slap back on when I sell is a consideration too. Can't be bothered moving TPMS sensors back and forth (first world problems)

what year is your car? u have ti rotors? KEEP EM. but you are right, you can get a pretty penny for em, prob as much or more than the AG wheels.

2015 s-line with black optics .... Oh, 19s so appropriate for this thread.

wheels are beauty. keep them. AND buy ag's.

guess what? u don't need tpms. they are built into the hub, not the wheels. so you don't need to transfer over anything!

think the dolphin grey AG are darker than the Ti rotors? really want dark... maybe black.

[bknewtype]

they are very similar, I wouldn't say its darker though. no black please, wheel will just get lost. I think dolphin grey, or any TI colored wheel looks great against black. but if you must do black, go with satin!

satin spokes with gloss lip... or custon dolphin grey face with gloss black barrel...

imo the m550 would not look good with a 2 tone type of color. lips/barrels are not wide enough to pull it off. stay dolphin!

that stance sc6 slate grey tho...

[Liquid99]

I'm really struggling on choosing between 19" or 20" AG M580's. I've been going back and forth with Mops, but can't seem to make a decision. I have 2 month old Pilot SS on the peelers now, so maybe sticking with the 19's will make things easy without sacrificing ride quality. Any opinions are appreciated.

[Mops@Nemesis]

Anyone looking for a badass set of wheels at a great deal, I have one set of 20x10 ET25 G25 at a killer price. Mold forged goodness, and super light.



Carry on

i like those wheels along with rohanas variant. a bit too "aggressive". the m550 is perfect if you want to remain classy

[GSS5]

i'll use this opportunity to whore my car. with the right stance i think 19s are perfect for the b8.

I think 19's are okay. As long as there is some meat on the wheel.

I had 20's and they were great! Here are both set ups.

Aren't those the wheels yours came with stock? Mine came with those on my 2010 S5, awesome OEM wheel. Especially combined with 15/20mm spacers to make them flush to the fender. I still feel like the S5 because wider and more aggressive compared to the B8 S4 a 20" looks almost perfect. 19" looks really good too. The 20" RS5 titanium rotors are my favorite wheel for the B8/B8.5. Can't go wrong with those OEM 19" if you prefer 19's! Looks good, like the red!

A5's came with 18's unless is was an Sline car or someone ordered an upgraded wheel package. And I think for most years the "y-spokes" are what the upgrade was.

[Brycej]

While my car came with 19's ("Y-Spoke"), as many do... I'd thought of getting 20's but was dissuaded due to both the weight and also the roads where I live.

As for photos:
