They brought back the good wheels

Was at Audi Centre Oakville yesterday getting service; they had a new S5 cab parked out front wearing the 2008-2009 wheels. This morning by coinkidink around town I parked next to a just delivered S7; it was wearing the same wheels. As pictured from the Audi.ca site just now:

They gave us 3 years of the crap peelers and now switched back?! Weird.

I completely disagree. Peelers are sexy. They need to bring back the Avus wheels, it might look odd on the new body style but if they had some concavity they would be cool

Yeah I like the potato peeler wheels… They are c6 rs6 proper.

The original s5 19" wheels look awesome though. I really like them

My neighbor told me last night that he prefers the peelers to the BBS I have on now. I figured him crazy but to each their own!

This is all good news for me though - someone will wind up listing a set of those original S5 wheels now that they’re back and I’ll be able to get good money for my peelers.

the potato peelers are some of favorite audi oem wheels, B6 avus as well

Finally some else that likes those wheels over the peelers! I had to quote the picture because it looks great.

I thought the peelers were an option because we would randomly get the older split five arm wheels on S5s every now and then. Never actually went up to the Sales department to check since I was always busy.

Just picked up a set of 20x9 OEM peelers for the S6. So much for lightweight wheels…

Fronts are fine at et22. Rear fitment is too aggressive with the spacers I had on the car, which leave it at et12. Likely et17 would work ok out back. Will have to see when they are mounted on the S6.
