When Ian stopped by last October with his Audi S5, it allowed us to get our first up-close-and-personal look at Audi’s latest V8 coupe.

Ian had us set aside a set of our RS4-styled Hartmann 252s in 18×8 and a 32mm offset so we could eventually wrap some Dunlop M3s around his new winter wheels. Concerned with stance, Ian had H&R DR spacers and a STaSIS Ohlins SL Sport Suspension Kit ordered so we could tackle all tasks at once. Unfortunately, his euro-spec headlight delivery was delayed until just recently and we are now finally getting around to throwing on Ian’s parts for him. After all things were said and done…

The stance couldn’t look any better for a winter set-up. Can’t wait for this thing to come back for the S5-styled 20″ Hartmann 209 Wheels when the weather shapes up!

Hartmann 252B Wheels: $260 ea.

Got a chance to get an up-close and personal look at the B8 Audi S5 today…

What a gorgeous car!! Ian brought us his Audi S5 as he is looking to pick up a set of 18″ B7 HRS4 – 252 wheels for the up-coming winter season. We sat down with him and worked out some good numbers and will wait for his winter tires to arrive from Tire Rack before we can update you with his winter-wheel look. We are also working out a deal on some STaSIS Ohlins coil-overs and our Hartmann HS5 – 209 wheels by the time Spring arrives. In the meantime, my up-close-and-personal pictures of the S5 as I got to know it a bit more…

Fantastic interior with the red leather, brushed aluminum, and carbon fiber accent pieces!!

Brushed aluminum accents are also carried on outside the car, with front and rear valence splitters and brushed mirror covers.

Ian also has European headlight and tail light assemblies on order that we will help him install, the rears I assume will be upgraded to an LED version.

We’re still waiting for the release of engine upgrades for the S5 other than an exhaust by STaSIS Engineering. We’ll update our website with more performance parts for the S5 as they become available. In the meantime, not a bad-lookin’ stock engine bay to look at…

Stay tuned for more updates to Ian’s S5 when he comes in for winter wheels and spacers some time next week!

A late arriving shipment (5:00pm) meant we were gonna be in for a rather late evening unloading 800+ wheels from our recent container.  We’ve been anticipating the arrival of some new Hartmann Wheel styles.

With an unusual quick pace, we were able to unload the entire container in just over 2 and a half hours, over-filling warehouse capacity.

One of the very new Hartmann Wheel styles we are excited to introduce is the all-new Hartmann HRS6 – 204 Wheel.  It’s a unique multi-split 5-spoke design.

This style is being offered with a 5×112 bolt pattern in 18×8 with 32 and 20mm offsets, and 19×8.5 with 38 and 25mm offsets.  These wheels also clear most big brake kits.

We are still offering the Hartmann HRS6 – 172 HC wheel and have brought in that style in an 18×8, 32mm offset – aggressive but fits most applications and also has clearance for most big brake applications.

The Hartmann B7 HRS4-252 Wheel isn’t new to us, however the new “-M” anthracite/machined finish is definitely something we haven’t offered yet.  This new finish offers a touch more class to an already classy wheel.

The difference between the Hartmann B7 HRS4 – 252 and the new Hartmann B7 HRS4 – 252-M (“M” for machined obviously) is very subtle, but different enough to differentiate between the two…

The Hartmann B7-HRS4-252-M is offered only in a 19×8.5 size and 38mm offset and is listed at $295 per wheel.

Remember our Hartmann HRS4 – DTM?  The continuing style has been brought in a half-inch wider at 8.5 in the 18″ diameter.  The 18×8.5 is offered with a 38mm offset as well as a 25mm for the new B8 chassis.

Updates are being made to the Achtuning Online Catalog as I type this.  We will bring in a few customer cars to test-fit some of our new wheels and we’ll update our posts and gallery with pictures as they become available.

Feel free to contact us directly if you have any fitment questions. Wheels are ready to ship!!
