Upgrade wheels

Pietro931 · 06-28-2016, 05:34 AM

I'm looking to change the look of my S5 TII (keeping the stock wheels) and looking to go with either a spoke or mesh look. Any ideas?

The RPF1s look good on the FC and they come in a wide range of sizes to fit proper performance tires, although personally I think 17s are about the max size that look good on the car. You can get away with staggering 18s on the rear and 17s on the front though. The size difference would make up for running a larger tire in the rear and keep about the same sidewall height. It gives the illusion of a raked look with the larger wheel in the back.

BBS wheels-These are 16" because the tires I had were almost new 215/55 & 235/50, but if I were to purchase all new, I'd go 17" 225/45 & 255/40.

Sorry for the shadow, but it was getting late.
