Default wheels, wheels, wheels! - opinions needed

i want new wheels - i'm on the verge of a breakdown which might involve trading in my '08 A5 for a '10 A5 Cab, so in an attempt to prevent that extravaganza, i'm going to just buy new wheels.

i can't find anything i like on the tire rack ... what do you guys think?
and any recos outside of these two will be greatly appreciated.

I like the Hartmann HRS6s, they look pretty hot on this S5


They have a few other choices as well





Haven't heard anything but good things about Hartmann quality either, you can find more info on Achtuning about them

No doubt..that is a hot look. I believe that is the wheel that comes on the prestige package for the 2010 S5. I've ordered a 2010 S5 in Meteor with prestige and I'll be pretty stoked if my ride looks this photo :-) Been second guessing my color choice lately but this photo just reconfirmed I made the right choice.

Why not pick up some used or new 19" stock S5 wheels.

How about some BBS's? I'm personally a fan of OZ, just not those particular rims. What kind of a style are you going for? The whole multi-spoke design or some sort of y-spoke or what?
