Why do the magazines say the S5 will come standard with 18" wheels? Should be 19", right?

In Europe, A5 comes with 17" default. S5 comes with 18" default. Just checked the audi.de website.
19" is available as an option for both.

Default In US, 19" standard on S5 according the launch letter sent to dealers

But the magazines are all saying 18" standard on the S5.
Weird.

Default in the uk, the S5 def has 19" wheels as standard

whilst the A5 comes with 17", but the 'twisted' wheels featured in all the photos & press cars are 19" only. The upgrade costs about £1200-1300 from memory, but only £650 if you go for the £950 sports pack, which features sports seats, sports suspension & 18" wheels......which at £1,600 total makes it a bit of a no brainer for me.....so I've gone for it in my order!
