Default Best Rims?

I have the 19 inch y-spoke wheels. There is a car at work with the double spoke S5 rims. I'm not sure i made the best choice. What is everyone's favorite?

That's about the response I expected. The triple 5 arm is definetly the least desireable. 18 inch is not even on the radar. The double - 5 arm is just classy and just right.

Most people on here getting wheels have a 20" favorite, and as liek myself have not done much research on the 19's. I think the S5 stock 19's look the best

I didnt see 20 inch as an option on the audi site. Must be after market? 20's seem like they would have been to big.

Save your money and buy an aftermarket 20" wheel. I would guess 90% of the people buying aftermarket wheels for their A5/S5 are buying a 20.

Re vote:
I think only the Y spoke (S line) and triple spoke (S5) are available as 19" in Canada, but not the double spoke? Or just not shown in catalogue at least. Anyway, I prefer the 19" double spoke.

20" rims would look great, but any concern with rollover damage? I've even nicked my 18's on track day hard cornering.
