Default A5/S5 Winter wheels - what do you think?
<center><img src="http://dollarmiser.com/ec/a5wheel.jpg"></center><p>Stepping down to 17"'s for the winter.

ET/Offset 32
17x7.5
66.6 center hub

What do you guys think? I figure they would be pretty easy to keep clean through the winter months.

I believe they come standard with 17" wheels in Europe, so I think they should fit. I hope so, anyway! I have a set sitting in my garage, which TireRack.com promised me would bolt on!

yeah that's what I was wondering. Since it's got the bigger brakes.

Yes, should be fine. Tirerack has 16"'s on A5's and 17"'s on S5's.

Default Are you sure?
I just bought a set of 18" winter wheels for my S5 from TireRack - according to their web site they have no 17" wheels for the S5.

They allow you to pick 17" sizes. Maybe they are out of wheels that work with the S5?
