From 20" 9J to 21" 9.5J

I searched this forum for answers on this specific wheel but found nothing.

Based on the results below, what problems do you guys forsee fitting this wheel to a completley stock rs5 coupe?

You'll prob be alright upsizing the wheels like that altho you may need spacers to push the wheels out. Interesting how the arch gap closes with that combo too.

If you're bored of the rotors take a look at the V-spokes. D_K did this & it looked awesome.

It's quite easy to do, mike and DK advised what me put on and it's sweet

Why would you want put 21s on an RS5?

[doodlebug]

To loosen some fillings?

[Ian_C]

20s look great but are overkill, the 19s would suit me fine, just a shame there aren't more / better wheel styles (both for the RS4 and RS5)

Edit - actually I quite like the RS4 19" multispokes - ten spoke iirc

You know, i thought 21 may be too big. But the new rs6 alloys are beautiful, no?

Yes, they are but...



The car was designed to take 21s as an option
The car has a 420mm carbon fiber-ceramic brake option
Those wheels look good because of the design, not just due to the size

I agree, the wheels do look good because of the design. And if they were vailiable in 20" I would of chose that size. But alas, no. HOWever, I know RS QUATTRO did a good job of rolling with 21's on their RS5 so I considered biting the bullet.

Not so sure now lol

Good point, the ADV.1 RS QUATTRO wheels were in 21s and did look good. BUT you could get them in 20s... just saying...

[bam_bam]

Apparently, the 20s on the C7 RS are forged, the 21s are cast, yuck!

Yea I enquired. They are so expensive I could buy two sets of genuine 20" Audi Rotors lol

These are cast??!!!

[Ian_C]

How to make 420mm ceramics look smaller - fit 21s!

[bam_bam]

Apparently, the optional 21s are cast. It's in the official press release.
