What 5 you have and what stock wheels you have is rather Important to the Question being Asked ??

I'd have it Lowered & Spaced, Then Exhaust then Wheels

I agree with DBS - and that's the route most of S5 and many 3.0TDI owners have taken - at least we less well-heeled Brits and Euros!

Speaking of the S5, I think that essentially, the stock wheel is one of the better OEM offerings and whilst cars certainly look good running on 20s, there's no way the standard car looks 'under-wheeled' and the design is very well integrated with the cars looks.

If you're more preformance-orientated and want to save weight, that might move wheel replacement higher-up your priority list but it seems most owners set about addressing the preceived 'softness' of the production S5, freeing-up the sound of that V8 and attending to the stance through spacers/suspension mods.

I'm in two minds about wheels and having lived with the stock items for a year, currently at a crossroads - if I haven't seen fit to do it by now, do I really need/want to?

do I really need/want to?

Well you don't really "need" to do any of these things. It's all about "want"

Because the thread title doesn't read should I do it or not, he's just asking which one to do first

If you have an S5, get the exhaust it will enhance your driving pleasure 10 fold. If its an A5 go with wheels first.

Usually I do wheels first, but in this case it was exhaust.
(I couldn´t choose right wheels...)

I'd have it Lowered & Spaced,then exhaust and forget wheels for now providing you can live with stock that is.
