I know it is not even January, but our dollar is still strong, and winter is boring, so I am going to order some wheels for the S5. I really cant decide between these 2 choices, so I am looking to you guys/girls opinions. The car is Phantom Black Pearl if that helps. Here are the choices I have come up with. I think I have pretty much narrowed it down to these 2 but, if any of you wheel guru's have other suggestions, please add your input.

Here is a pic of an S5 incase you aren't familiar with it.

Choice #1 O.Z. Raffaello III (20")

Better in which way? I get this question alot, so to make a long answer short, the S5. Only complaint I have with it, is mileage. The BMW is a sweet ride, but the interior/exterior is a bit boring, so its all about the drivetrain, but even that gets boring at times. I have the procede in it, so it should be quicker, but the delivery is smooth, so it just doesn't give that V8 tourqey grunt feeling. Can't go wrong with either one, but if I had to choose, S5.

driving dynamics mostly... does the s5 feel like a heavier car? does it handle as well as the bmw which has "perfect" weight distribution?

Neither have the perfect weight distrubution. Really neither feel all that heavy either, sure if you jumped out of an S2000, or Miata or something, they would show their weight so to speak, but it never comes across as a heavy feeling. The S5 has a tad bit lighter steering feel at low speeds, but tightens up the faster you go. I had a RWD 335i before and the x-drive changes the feel of the 335xi enough to put the Audi ahead. 335i to S5 I would say the 335i feels lighter, but not by any measurable amount, which puts me back to "feeling good factor" and the Audi takes the prize.

The stock ones look better than both aftermarket ones.

I have been up and down on these two for awhile, but now I am even more unsure. I have been looking at Asanti, and HRE now as well. Alot of choices out there, it gets overwhelming, I just want to get them all lol./
