    Replacment wheels for Audi A5 Sline - Opinion

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi,

    I am looking for some replacement wheels for my 2014 Audi A5 S-line in Brilliant Red (do not have Black optics package). I was considering a set of Hartmann HRS6-091-MA:M or HS5-209-GA:M. Not being able to see these wheels in person, I am concerned that the Anthracite paint (matte or gloss) will be too dark and not suite the car. Anyone have these wheels and can comment on the look on a Red car ? Would you suggest another set of wheels instead ? Any pics would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    not familiar with the wheels but anthracite would look great with red.

    I went with gun metal on my volcano red for the summer set. I don't have black optics.

    These are a pic of the wheels from the Hartmann site.

    They are described as a Matte Anthracite

    or

    They are described as a Gloss Anthracite

    I think the matte anthracite would look great on red without black Optics. The machined face will give it some contrast so the wheel doesn't disappear in the wheel well like some all black wheels tend to do. I'm partial to the HRS6s. I believe that style wheel came on the pre-facelift S5s, so if you do a search for red S5s from 08-12 you may be able to find something that looks close to what you'll get

    Thanks. Came across a few pic online of for the Hartmann HRS6-091-MA:M though was wondering if it is simply lighting or if the wheels came in a different color other than matte anthracite

    achtuning said these are representative of the matte anthracite color.

    But these images give the impression that they are lighter in color

    Also I currently have a set of summer tires, 255/35 R19, wondering if they would fit the Hartmanns ?

    I think anthracite would look great on a red car. I'm not really a fan of that split spoke style that pops out past the rim on a coupe, I feel they look better on the SUV. Just my opinion of course and you shouldn't really care about that.

    If I were looking i would likely get the BBS CH-R or CI-R to save a lb per wheel.
