How's your S5 these days...I seem to recall you having a some problems with it initially?

Originally I thought that I was getting those rims on my S5 as well because the ordering guide I was given back in April had them under the Prestige package. Well now they're a separate option so I think I'll be getting the twin spoke rims instead and I'm ok with that because I prefer those more. The tri-spoke rims remind me too much of flower petals.

Is it just the look of the pictures or are the tri-spoke wheels not as sunken in as the regular S5 wheels are in the rear? Is it possible they have a different offset to correct for the sunken in look in the standard wheels?

As good as the RS4 wheels look on the S5, I'd go with something else as I think they're too pricey. You can get just as good if not better looking aftermarket rims.

The Hartmann wheels have a more aggressive offset than the OEM wheels to fill out the fenders a bit more.

Yeah, I had visited their website and saw that they use a 25 offset on their wheels. I had posted seperately to find out what the offset on the stock wheels are to understand how much of a difference it is. Someone had responded that the stock wheels are a 32 so the Hartman wheels would be like adding in a 7MM Spacer (right?). I think the new BBS CH-R wheels also have a 25 offset so they should fill up the wheel well better as well.
