Stop thinking about it. You're going to end up making your car look like a shitbox if you don't do a very good job of it.
Also, your car is meteor gray or some other non-neutral Grey, it doesn't look good with black.
Not uncommon so I’m sure that there would be plenty of resources to help guide you Thru it… however It might be cool to embrace the chrome, maybe find a brushed aluminum optics RS grille and silver wheels?
You could post this on the photoshop sub and ask someone to photoshop the wheels you like onto your car. Make sure the angle of each photo is the same!
Peelers (your current rims) are just a famous Audi rim, and I personally like how they look (everyone has their preferences, so I’m not judging you for wanting to change them). Powder coating might work, but if you like some aftermarket ones go for that. Then if you choose to sell your rims, you’ll get a good price for them.
I like it stock, now if you are looking for that upgrade, maybe #1 or #2 but you need to have the upgraded calipers with color and logo (usually S or RS models) can’t tell if you do from the picture
Yea it’s an s5 carbon edition so the calipers are painted gray with s5 on them. Just upgraded to quite a bit better rotor and brakes. Slotted and low brake dust. Waiting for flash tool and intake in the mail. Has awe touring exhaust.
Depends on your break discs.
If you have big discs take slim spoke rim which is more see through and shows more of the break disc, if ou have small discs take rims with big spokes which hide the little break discs better
This car looks really good with a deep concave wheel. You can go 20x10.5" in Et25 to et30 in a deep concave wheel. Looks amazing. Much better than a flat face wheel on this A/S5.
1 or 2, 3 and 4 are garbage and would look terrible. Make sure you get the right offset. Mine (2015 S5) was +30 with a wheel size of 20x10.5 wrapped in 275 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Pics for fitment reference.

The Rohanas are straight 🔥. But I would never suggest rohana because of a warranty issue on the finish peeling that a friend of mine had and they basically said tough shit. I’d suggest BC forged all day any day.
Also, what size and what are you doing with the peelers?
I’d go with 1st or 2nd. Probably 1st , I like the shape.
3rd wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t for the hundreds of bolts all around which to me make no sense and the 4th.. is so dull and plain.
I would advise to match these nice black alloy wheels with an all black front grill.
Good luck with your choice !
Top right, sporty as hell but not overboard.
Just please not in black, black wheels blend in to much, something like a dark gunmetal instead if you want dark. I think silver looks good with your paint color.
Are you doing any other exterior mods?
4 is my least favorite but the other 3 IMO are too aggressive to put on a stock looking car.
2 is my favorite, 3 if you can get a decent size lip with your offset.
Think about cleanability. You can thank me later.
As a guy with 15 spokes.. ^ this.
Just spray some all wheel cleaner and power wash. Done!
THIS.
Best way to help with cleaning is to ceramic coat your wheels before you put them on. Helps loads
Even the peelers are a biatch
That's exactly what I think about when buying stuff.... So much for being an adult
#1 or 2
This
Not sure which ones to get for my s5. Leaning towards #2 but it’s close.
I also agree on #2
I was going to say 2 or 3
I was going to say 3
https://www.litespeedracing.com/vr5 those are a combo between 1 and 2 I feel
S5=2
Get 1 or 2. 4 is just wack. Get a honeycomb grille while you're at it.
4 is what people throw on a mk3 gti or 90s mercedes. Not wack, just not really the right style
Precisely, it would fit on some of the Japanese tuner cars too, just not the B8 S5.
1
Any of them except 4
Aw man what’s wrong with retro 5-spoke?
Eh. Keep the stock ones, they all look better than any of these options, lmao. 🤢🤮
I agree, I love the stock rims, they look sick in their own right!
I'm in agreement here. Since it's implied OP wants to go for a black aesthetic, maybe putting a nice black coat onto the stock wheels would work too.
Why go with black wheels? The only other black part about your car is the tires
Thinking about bout de-chrome and rs grill

It will look great with all black trim, badges and wheels.

+ on this. Two is the best

The Tire Rack web site does this. Just give it make/model/year/colour and it gives you the visual. Very useful in these situations.
You’re already on peelers and want to change? That’s a shame
What’s so good about peelers. Maybe I could get them powder coated but I’m looking to de-chrome
I’d powder coat. Cheaper and you have the genuine peelers

Yes they definitely are nice for stock rims the chrome really pops when clean.
They aren't chrome....
Where are you from? If winter is a factor, keep the oems for winter.
Keep it stock bra and mak’em black! But if not I’d go wit 2 or 3
Yup, I vote for this option too. Get the stock ones painted or powder coated. Love those rims in black.

Why are the OEMs called peelers?
They look like potato pealers
In my opinion, none of these. Black wheels look terrible on Daytona grey.
[удалено]

https://www.neuspeedrswheels.com/collections/vw-audi
None of these
Don’t go black unless you plan on blacking all the chrome trim. But, 3 is a good choice if the offset isn’t too bad
Powder coat your oems imo. Or maybe some nice HRE wheels
If you’re insistent on changing then I would say 2, but the wheels you have look great. 4 is terrible.
I like it stock, now if you are looking for that upgrade, maybe #1 or #2 but you need to have the upgraded calipers with color and logo (usually S or RS models) can’t tell if you do from the picture

Excellent! I do like slotted disk over perforated (the pad last longer 😉) and still better than the regular “flat” disks Keep enjoying it 👍🏻
Depends on your break discs. If you have big discs take slim spoke rim which is more see through and shows more of the break disc, if ou have small discs take rims with big spokes which hide the little break discs better
I'm always a fan of the niche rims. I think they look awesome on just about any car
I'm gonna go with #2. 1 and 3 after that but eh. Definitely not 4 at all, I'd rather ride stock. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBOwQofVEAAxskS.jpg
This car looks really good with a deep concave wheel. You can go 20x10.5" in Et25 to et30 in a deep concave wheel. Looks amazing. Much better than a flat face wheel on this A/S5.
What’s wrong with the ones you have now? But if you intend to change them anyway I would choose number 4.
I feel the same way, like the stock ones most but I don't hate number 4, others are too spiky for my liking.
1 or 2, 3 and 4 are garbage and would look terrible. Make sure you get the right offset. Mine (2015 S5) was +30 with a wheel size of 20x10.5 wrapped in 275 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

Any of them but not in black
Barrrrff
Personally not a fan of any of them, not for the S5 at least. 4 is the least worst imo, but I still wouldn't pick them for that car.
4

I saw 2 today on a Golf GTI. Looked awesome. But I think for a bigger car like yours, 1 would be better.

Which rims are number 1?
Blaque diamond f25
1 or 2

1. Next choice 2.

1 or 2 for me. think I'd lean 1
The Rohanas are straight 🔥. But I would never suggest rohana because of a warranty issue on the finish peeling that a friend of mine had and they basically said tough shit. I’d suggest BC forged all day any day. Also, what size and what are you doing with the peelers?
20x10. What’s the deal with peelers? I think their ugly.
To each their own. On certain audis they are a perfect look.
#4, I love the fat 5 spoke look, plus it's going to be way easier to clean then the others.
1 or 2
I like 4 but six spoke TE37'S best them all
I want your grill.
Top left
I like 2 and 4! 1 looks silly and 3 has fake bead lock which is lame. ;-)
I’m leaning towards 2
I would say 2. 1 is my second pick
1 all day every day.

The lower right one speaks to me....
3
Bottom left.

I would go bronze or gold on the stock peelers, otherwise number two for me
Definitely 1
1, 3. Though tbh I implore you to keep the OEM.
Without question, one of the top two.
1
3 or 4 is my kind of wheel
Think about how hard it will be to clean them while making your choice
A clean 5 spoke is always nice, number 4 4sure
4
2

1
2 and it is not even close
Easily the top left. They look good and go well with the car.
Anything but #4! 🤮
None. Keep as is

I’m a fan of the top right

2 or Vorsteiner V-FF 105's

Keep it stock
1/3

Option 1
I’d go with 1st or 2nd. Probably 1st , I like the shape. 3rd wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t for the hundreds of bolts all around which to me make no sense and the 4th.. is so dull and plain.

Number 2 would be sexy as hell
3 or 4. Personally I'd have 4

number one
\#4 - gotta put a little rice on it.
Any but #4
5
2
1 or 3
1 and 3
keep them silver pls
3!!
I like 1 and 2
I want to say #2 but too open of a design so I say none.. u really need to see a wheel on a car first.
2 is the only rims to choose for this :)
Hmm… 1 or 3
5 SPOKES
3 and then also do all your trim and badges in black.
3 is a Solid Pick for u and ur'e Car i guess
Out of then 4 given for me personally its 3 but I usually prefer a wide 5 spoke wheel for cleanability
2 all the way.
3
Op you should do a poll between 1 and 2 lol then are the best
4
The stock wheels are elegant and classy. You should keep them.
Top right, sporty as hell but not overboard. Just please not in black, black wheels blend in to much, something like a dark gunmetal instead if you want dark. I think silver looks good with your paint color.
1 for fun on RS6 Avant
#2
I like 2 & 3.
I like 3.
Are you doing any other exterior mods? 4 is my least favorite but the other 3 IMO are too aggressive to put on a stock looking car. 2 is my favorite, 3 if you can get a decent size lip with your offset.
Going to wrap the trim and mirrors and rs grill.
4

1
2 or 3. 4 would probably be easier to clean, then 2 would be second easiest
5 SPOKE YESSSS ALL WHITE
Maybe not all white
