and I am curious about maybe changing up the color of the wheels. Now they're silver with a chrome lip and i like the look but would consider something else..

Would you mind posting pictures of your car with aftermarket wheels.. Thanks.

Those of you who have aftermarket wheels, are you getting different sizes for the front vs. the rear or keeping them the same size all around?

Hey Ros, I think a brushed face with body-color matched lips would look awesome.

Default Not that it would be bad but that might make the wheels look smaller. I'll look for pictures

of that color combo on black cars.


I think 20 inch wheels look great on the S5. My stock wheels with winter tires look small. Still a good winter set up for New England winters and snow but if i were to paint the 20 inch wheel's lip black it would blend with the tires..

Black lip blends with tire, not a fan . . needs contrast, black/dark wheels w/ brushed aluminum lip

Default The polished + black MTM forged Bimotos are interesting,

tho I still prefer my all silver versions.

I could be biased though
