Wheels choices on Q5 need opinions

**Gonzoe11** · 04-21-2018 06:21 AM

I’m looking to pick up 2015 Q5 TDI this weekend. I have a some extra wheels sitting at my tuners shop and trying to decide which set would work and look better. The Q5 is a TDI PP in Lava Grey.
Set #1: OEM RS5 rotors refinished in matte black 20x9 et26
Set #2: Rays Volks G25 classic in gloss black 20x10 et25

Don’t have any pics yet, just looking for opinions. Will post pics when the Q5 comes home and pick up the wheels from my shop

.
What do you think?

I ran the G25 DB-K in a slightly different fitment 20x9.5 et29 for a while. Picture for reference.

I would definitely run the Volks but I’m biased.

BTW thanks again for the recommendation on Classic Audi. They’ve been awesome.

I really dig the look of Rotors on our machines.

But then I saw Eric's shot of those Volks.... Fuhgettaboutit. Volks.

Congrats on the machine.

Rotors are very nice, but Volk fit and forged weight savings would tip the scales for me, but I might be a bit biased like Eric. Volk finish might be more durable too.

Need pics! In all reality, the volks will need a wider tire whereas the rotors you can do stock (and cheaper) tire size. I really dig the rotors but they look better on the sedans/avants than the Q imo.

Hey hey!

I've been wanting to see that 10" G25 on a Q... since forever :)

**Gonzoe11** · 04-21-2018 06:09 PM

Thanks for the responses. Think the G25 will be the one.
Tried to get over to the dealer to pick up the Q5 but didn’t make it on time.
Next up 275/40 or 265/45 ?

Dam that looks so good! Glad Classic has worked out. I have nothing but great things to say about Eddie and the crew there.

Hey Ben. Great to hear from you. I also have a wild card in the BBS CX-R 20x10 et25. Looks real good on the wife’s Q.

So it has been done! I totally forgot about these.

I would recommend different options. For a lot of people those re winter wheel setups.

Looks like a no brainer. Looks awesome

. What color is your SQ? And what are you lowered on?

Daytona Gray. lowered on PSS10s. Note that the normal G25s have a silver lip. I had that part of the rims painted black and the center caps painted black. It's held up ok so far after about 6 months but I'm super careful not to curb them. Recommend the Volks. They do take a while to clean though!
