Trying to adult! B8.5 Audi S5

[Miroteknik]

The chrome and the mirrors are giving me a Bentley vibe and I am really digging it.

..... what if you wrapped the a-pillars in chrome haha only a joke, surely..


unless?

Not much to report! Did add Akebono ceramic front brake pads, which I HIGHLY recommend. If you have a B8 S4/5 the Audi OEM pads add a ridiculous amount of brake dust and these cut that amount to practically nothing.

Added 5mm spacers all around, making the final specs 20x10 +12 square with 255/30 tires.



Took the car to its first indoor show, Slammedenuff Atlanta. Was fun to revisit that side of the scene. I'm not as into that stuff as I used to be, but it was still a good time catching up with everyone and being in a show with my girlfriend for the first time!




Also, I finally broke down and got my car tinted, which is the first car I've ever had tinted. I think it looks pretty cool too but tint is mandatory in this Georgia sun.

Damn I love it

Yep! I kind of think of it as more of a big coupe and have always liked the VIP side of things, it won't be carving canyons anytime soon. My mazda was the same way. I did pick the setup/specs out pretty carefully so there's no rub and not much stretch. 255s are decently wide also.

Well you definitely nailed it with the VIP, looks good. I've always considered Audis luxury anyway.

changed the whole attitude of the car, took the "sport" out of it

I would've never thought that those wheels would suite the car so well. I dig!

Fitment looks pretty good as well

+1 like the car/wheels combo

Been on the RSE for a few months, never really liked them and wanted to get back to my roots with something a little more ignorant. Enter these. Waited about a month for them to arrive from Japan and be rebuilt.

Here they are in the back of the S6 on the way to get mounted. Very impressed the Avant can carry 4 20" wheels and 4 20" tires.



The wheels are 20" Weds Kranze Bazreia, 3.5" lips and 6.5" barrels. Chrome faces, polished lips, and redrilled to 5x112. The pics are pretty self explanatory, going to dial in the fitment with 5-10mm spacers and wind the front down a little lower but here's where we are at right now!!

this thing is a beast, especially with the silver wheels. think i like the original grill more if im honest(never thought i would say that) keep it up, look sweet

Love the color change on the wheels, gives it a classier look!

[Graphitemk6]
