Best wheels for the Audi A5

A5 owners tend to want wheels that keep the car's tidy, grown-up look while adding a bit of RS attitude. We tried 12 wheels on a gray Sportback with red calipers and looked for designs that suit that long, clean side profile.

Every wheel below is shown on the same A5 photo, rendered with our AI wheel visualizer, so you're comparing the wheels and nothing else. Drag the sliders to compare with stock.

   StockVossen EVO-1

   The Vossen EVO-1 in Venetian Bronze is dark enough to look serious on the gray paint, with just enough warmth to stand out. The sharp split spokes match the crisp shoulder line that runs down the side, and the red calipers peek through nicely.

   StockRohana RFX11

   The Rohana RFX11 in Brushed Titanium looks like something Audi could have put in the options list. The twin-spoke design is open enough to show off the brakes, and the bright finish keeps the car looking clean and expensive.

   Gloss Clear

   StockVossen S17-01

   The Vossen S17-01 has a busy mesh face that fills the arch from edge to edge. In silver against the gray body it looks sporty and a little Euro-motorsport, and those red calipers pop right through the gaps.

   AG Luxury AGL35

   Black And Copper

   StockAG Luxury AGL35

   The AG Luxury AGL35 puts a copper ring around a dark face, and on this gray Sportback that outer band really draws the eye. It's loud, but the dark spokes keep it from tipping into too much.

5. 5. Best for a playful look

   Kansei KNP

   Bronze

   StockKansei KNP

   The Kansei KNP is a chunky bronze five-spoke with a bit of a retro tuner feel. On a sensible German liftback it's an unexpected combo, and the thick spokes balance the big, flat door panels well.

6. 6. Best track-day look

   Vector Forged LW04

   Gloss Gunmetal

   StockVector Forged LW04

   The Vector Forged LW04 is a simple six-spoke with a deep, bright lip. It gives the A5 a lighter, more purposeful stance and pairs well with the gray paint.

The one we'd skip

MV Forged GR2-V1

The MV Forged GR2-V1 has a dense turbine-style face that reads almost like a solid disc from the side. It hides the calipers and feels a bit heavy for a car this sleek.
