RS5s with OEM carbon ceramic brakes with aftermarket wheels

[Soopastank]

Just picked up an RS5 Cab with the OEM CC brakes and having a tough time finding wheels that fit. Initially wasn't looking to do a custom fit, but it's looking that route. Looking to see other RS5s with CC brakes and the wheels you were able to fit. Searched and couldn't find a specific thread and went through the aftermarket wheel thread and didn't see many cars with the CC brakes. Thanks in advance!

@Mops would be an excellent resource. Helped me w/ my aftermarket AG's for my RS5 Cab AWA @hippyshakes w/1 or 2 sets of aftermarket wheels for his RS5 Cab which I think is the best looking/modified Cab I've seen on this forum.

Thanks ICU. Kind words. I do not have CC. Mops is the wheel Guru. I do have a set available of BC Forged HB09. Sitting in boxes in the garage! My plans to refinish them have not happened yet.

I have oem carbon ceramics and had no problem finding wheels that fit. They came with the stock rotors so anything that's like the stock rotors or bigger should fit. I've had bbs ch-r, ci-r on in the past

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll PM them both if they don't chime in here.

Issue I'm having is we test fitted a few wheels and notice that on the CC brake setup the mounting pad is recessed vs. standard brakes (my A7) where it protrudes out. The mounting pad (back) of most of the aftermarket wheels I'm fitting are a few mm to big and are hitting the lip causing the wheel pad not to sit flush in the recessed area. If you look closely at the CC brakes, you can see two silver lines on the bottom lip of the mounting pad from where the rim was hitting.

i see what you mean, but haven't had that problem. how do you current wheels mounting pad look like?
One option would be to get a spacer for those few mm. I would get a titanium spacer to still keep the weight low.

Must be nice to have that kind of money to throw around for a pair of billet titanium spacers... lol.

If only titanium were actually lighter than aluminum...

Spent the money on the brakes so figured...

But:

Lol thanks for pointing that out. I don't know why I was thinking stainless steel with spacers and not aluminum.

Update - I ended up finding a set of wheels that fit that I liked. Also lowered the car and picked up some ECS spacers to give the car a slightly more aggressive look. I'll post some pics shortly. Thanks again to all that chimed in.
