Default B9 Wheel options - after market?

You'd think there would be multiple threads with photos of wheel options, styles, size info, etc. . My search results aren't finding too many B9/S5 specific

Post links or your photos - would love to see where you landed.

Hoping to get my stock set replaced before the summer.

Similar impression here. I'm looking at downsizing to 19" from the 20" BO wheels and the options seem very limited. I may just go custom from somewhere like BC Forged.

BBS does have a few options in 19" that fit the B9 S5 but agree, most aftermarket wheels are 20" as they tend to make stuff that is a plus size (no fat jokes).

BBS CH-R, CI-R, and SR come in 19x8.5" ET32, which is same size as the OE 19" (around $600 for the CHR/CIR and $400 for the SR per wheel)
BBS CH-R also comes in 19x9.5" ET35 which fits as if one was running a 10mm spacer on the OE 19" (around $600 per wheel)
BBS FS which is a forged wheel comes in 19x9" ET25 which fits as if running 13mm spacer on the OE 19" (around $1200 per wheel)

I went with vossen hf3 20x10.5 et 30. Not the cheapest but they’re sharp. Pics don’t do justice.

Hey guys,

We just did an S5 with our newest flow form wheel, the BD-F18.

He is running 20x10 all round

Customer pics so the quality isn't the best, but take a look:



The BD-F18


We've also done our BD-27 on an S5

You list Work as one of your brands. The Work Gnosis FMB01, a monoblock forged wheel, are also made in 19" sizes that should fit the B9 S5. The 20" versions certainly are a perfect fit, but haven't seen 19s on the car (popular with BMW in 19" though). I believe they will also make custom offsets. They are a similar price to the BBS forged wheels, both being made in Japan. So premium quality forged wheels, which may be too much for some. Although the poster's 20" BO wheels are made by BBS Germany, and cost around $950 each, not exactly cheap.
