Well if anyone knew me from the G35 forums then you would know Im a wheel whore and like to build/buy wheels for my cars. I went threw multiple sets with my G and hope I don't I have the same habits with my a5! here's a sneak peak of what Im building for my A5 2011 Sline 2.0t with some help from B. Gorman from the mbforums ... we were able to source what I was looking for, 19 inch mesh wheels that I can use to build 20inch step lip wheels with. As wheel gurus know, step lip wheels have faces that are 1inch less in diameter then the outer barrel. I will be using the 19inch faces to mate with new 20 inch step lip outer barrels and new 20 inch inner barrels as well.
here are the wheels, Auto Art VY in 19 inch
The faces apart from the wheel
And... the lips 4inch rears.... 3inch fronts.....2.5 inch spare lips
The lips were ordered in the old style step lips that aren't rolled on the edge like the new step lips and the valve stem will extend from inside the inner barrel. Since Auto Art faces strictly use Auto Art machined lips and inner barrels, the faces will be milled to fit the new step lips, and the rears of the faces will be machined to give the the brakes a closer clearance. The inner barrels and faces will be matte black and the lips will be polished. 20x10 fronts and 20x11 rears. Offset is custom of course. The car is dropped with H&R coilovers and an AWE quad exhuast has been ordered along with the s5 rear valence and front grill.
Here are the lips after polishing and a pic of the faces being milled down to fit the front barrels
Rear barrels at the powder coater getting matte black treatment like the centers
