S5 Rims

[topcat_92]

Does anyone have S5 rims mounted that could send me a side shot of their RS6?

I found some for sale within a two hour drive, and want to be sure it's worth the trip.

Thanks for your help.

Please PM Snoopra. He has a set. I seem to remember there was some sort of adapter needed.

Snoopra,
Do you have to add spacers or adapters of any kind?
What tire size are you running? Any rubbing?
Post more picts. Looks great!

Thanks for the comps guys! Had to use adapter spacers due to the difference in center hub size and offset. The wheels are 8.5" and tires are factory spec, 255/35/19". No rubbing issues:)

Thanks for the pic Snoopra and the PM. I'll make the drive and check them out.

[snoopra]

what is the adapter spacers size?
4mm spacer/adapter one piece combo with 66.6mm to 57.10mm hub centric (billet).

I found a very good deal for a set of (4) OEM original S5 wheels with a seller in USA, I'm thinking to place the order but the shipping cost is crazy to UAE-Dubai, its coming around $400USD per wheel!!! I believe should be some other way of shipping cheaper. Anyone have advice on that plz?

[snoopra]

Try locating a freight forwarding company.

Finallly got the 2009 S5 Rims installed. Here is a quick picture from my iPhone. I'll take some more pictures once we get a sunny day in Seattle (which may not be until July...). 4mm spacers.

I was wondering WHEN you/IF you ever got these rims as the thread kinda died...

Looks like Woodland park or Greenlake...

Also, just plan on taking a photos when it is raining HERE as it is ALWAYS sunny there... (parents live in Wedgwood so I have the 411 on the weather)
Then the rain soaks the AZ kids then the TX kids...
Then the AR kid get to do squirrely donuts in the parking lot of Walmart...

Across the street from the Zoo. I'll wash the car on the next decent Sat. morning and post some more pics.

BTW, anyone have any luck posting to the photo album? I looked before the website update, and didn't see any albums and had difficulty posting large photos.

Also, we should create a pinned post (or whatever it is called to keep a post on top of pages) that has user pictures of their cars/wheels/mods/group pics/etc.

[ben916]

sooo are those winter tires/rims or standard patrolling???

[DHall1]

Cant really sticky all these posts but the best bet is a good subject title. "S5 rims" is perfect.

Open a photobucket account and insert the large pics like we have been doing. Dont mess with the uploads to the site. Photobucket is the only way to go.

Standard patrolling: OEM Pirelli PZero Rosso's I believe. Probably 70% tread life left. Minor curb rash. $1,600.00. I had seen some available on eBay and locally with +-5,000 miles, no curbage, for $2,500. When I run through the tires in a year or two (don't get a chance to do too much aggressive driving), I'll have the curbage fixed and some fresh rubber spooned on.

DHall1, thanks for the tip on Photobucket. I'll give it a try.

topcat_92,
Looks really nice!!! She looks alittle high, did you do the DRC recall fix?

[vangelis]

Anyone have an idea what would be the max tyer size can fit S5 wheels 19x8.5?

[topcat_92]

DRC fixed already. It was within 1/4" after the "fix adjustement". I haven't noticed it being high lately. I'll measure again.

[topcat_92]

A few pics from this morning.

[ben916]

nice! Looking good!

[topcat_92]

Some more pics after a morning meeting this morning. I dropped over Golden Gardens Beach to take a few more shots. 50 degrees at 10:00, heading to low 60's today and through the weekend. Cheers.

Great pictures, love the background as well. My folks live on San Juan Island and I don't get up there as much as I would like.

[ben916]

ok ok, here is mine, finally without all the excessive brake dust....

That 50 degrees would be nice for some extra cooling/boost...

We stay on Orcas Island every August for a week and head over to San Juan Island for a day. Love it up there. Nothing like it.
