Audi A5 wheels

[K1Shane]

Was filling up and an Audi A5 was at the opposite pump. My attenton was drawn to the 5 spoke rims with the split at the end of the spoke if that makes sense. They're in that anthracite grey colour. Got me thinking, 1) would they fit my k1? 2) can anyone do a retrofit pic for me?

What do people think?

1) Yes they will
2)Try the photoshop section on the forum, that's where all the photoshop guys hang out, just waiting to do requests like this, you'll have to give them a pic of the wheel you like for example this one...

[K1Shane]

[Leigh15]

[K1Shane]

Hmmm true. But they look so nice. Lowered on those rims would b quality

That's not a bad price and they come with Tyres. Will have to wait about a month but think it's gonna have to be lol

If you like the Audi rims look how about a set of TTRS wheels, Hartmann make replicas that im sure cost much less than OEM from Audi. If i were to change i would get me a set of 19" TTRS

I like the multispokes. But don't think they would look any good. Is a little while off yet. I'll hav a good think lol

i dont thinkg the genuine rims off a A5 will fit... offsets and width might be completely wrong. The ebay reps will fit tho.......

 

[K1Shane]

I was a little unsure. Will get bit more info over weekend

A caution about replica wheels...

I bought a set of Golf Gti Monza replicas in 18" and one of them was porous, i.e. it leaked air and the tyre kept going down. I took it back to MERSEYSPEED and fair play to them , they replaced it without hesitation.

Replicas do also tend to be very HEAVY compared to an EOM alloy wheel.

You only get what you pay for...the wheels I bought were £400 a set, where a genuine BBS Monza Alloy comes from VW at £306 each...

Blast from the past!

Any pics of this set up Jedi?

Same wheels I have on mine, you wont regret them they suit the car down to a tee

Sorry for the delay - I have been away on business travels.

Here you go: (Sorry for the poor photo quality!)

I didn't think it looked right. It might have been better with the Genuine Monza BBS silver diamond cut / anthracite inserts (But they are £306 each!).

The car seem much more right to me when I got the Cupra R Potenza alloys instead:

i agree the monzas look tiny and a bit naff looking to be honest

Cheers Jedi, I was purely for a winter set up. Missed the wheels anyway but cheers for that!

I love those Potenza alloys. I want to get some from my FR550. If you ever want to sell them, please give me a shout
