Alloy size recommendations?

I have heard that 19 inch wheels really emphasize the ‘feel’ of the road- which is a nice way of saying they provide a ‘tougher’ driving experience (as opposed to a smoother, more comfortable ride). And that’s supposed to apply to any vehicle, not just an Audi or an A5. But if looks are your primary concern, a 19 inch wheel will probably look a bit better. I have 19 inch wheels on my 2011, and they came factory, so the car can definitely accommodate the larger size. It’s just a matter of selecting wheels with the right bolt pattern, and occasionally using wheel spacers so that they sit the right distance from the wheel hub.

TireRack.com and discounttire.com both have tools on their websites that allow you to select the year, make, model and color of your vehicle, and then give you all the wheels available on their site that fit your car along with a picture of how they will look on your exact vehicle.

Hope that helps!
