I’m currently on the hunt for some OEM rotor wheels for my Audi S5 and could really use some advice from those who might have experience with this. I’ve been looking around for either new or used options, but I’m unsure about compatibility and the visual appeal these wheels offer.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Availability: Where have you found the best deals? Are there specific websites or local shops that are recommended?
  • Condition: Is it worth buying used wheels, and what should I be on the lookout for in terms of wear and tear? Any ideas on how to assess their condition before purchasing?
  • Visual Appeal: How do the OEM rotor wheels look on your S5? If you have any photos, I’d love to see how they complement the overall aesthetics of the car.
  • Size Compatibility: I want to make sure I get the right sizes that will fit my S5 without any issues. Any insights on that would be extremely helpful.

Tips for Buying:

  • Check for reputable sellers on platforms like eBay, and read through reviews.
  • Join local Audi forums or groups where members might be selling wheels directly or have leads on where to find them.
  • Don’t hesitate to ask questions about fitment—better safe than sorry!

I’d appreciate any personal experiences or recommendations you can share. Looking forward to your responses!

I’ve recently upgraded to Audi S5 rotor wheels and the difference in handling is incredible! The car feels more planted during cornering and I’ve noticed improved stability at higher speeds.

That’s awesome! I was reading that these wheels can affect braking performance too. Did you experience any difference in that area?

I have the S5 rotor wheels on my A5 and I can definitely say it enhances the look of the car! Performance-wise, they do offer slight improvements, especially in terms of grip.

Absolutely agree! The aesthetics are a big plus. It feels like a different car altogether with the right wheels.

Upgrading to rotor wheels can be pricey, but investing in quality wheels often pays off in performance. Just keep in mind the impact on fuel economy; it can slightly decrease with heavier wheels.

I had a friend who switched and mentioned the trade-off was worth it for the handling benefits. Just make sure to check tire compatibility too!

Good point about the weight! I didn’t realize that could offset some performance gains. Anyone else notice that?

I haven’t noticed a major difference in fuel economy on my S4 with the rotor wheels, but the stability is noticeable during fast curves.

Does anyone know how these wheels impact tire wear? I’ve heard mixed reviews regarding uneven wear after upgrading.

11

Great question! I’ve had mine for about a year now. While I’ve been happy with performance, my tires do seem to wear out a bit faster. Just something to keep in mind.

12

That’s unfortunate to hear. I’d hate to lose performance due to uneven tire wear! Is there a specific brand or model that helps with longevity?

13

I’ve read that sticking to OEM tire specifications can help with wear issues. Just be careful with aftermarket options!

14

That’s solid advice! It’s always best to err on the side of caution with performance mods.

15

Honestly, when it comes to car wheels, I always felt like I was just rolling with it. But these rotor wheels really do make a noticeable difference in handling—who knew?

I found my Audi S5 rotor wheels directly from an Audi dealership. They were super helpful and let me know about compatibility with other models as well.

That’s great to hear, Melissa! But how do they fit on models like the A4? Do you know anything about offsets?

Would love to know as well! I’ve been thinking about putting S5 wheels on my A5, but I’m not sure about the offset differences.

19

The S5 rotor wheels typically have a 5x112 bolt pattern. Check the offsets; for an A5, you might need spacers. Just make sure not to exceed the recommended specs.

I read somewhere that an offset of ET26 is ideal for the S5. Is that too aggressive for the A4? Could be a fitment challenge.
