With Ian’s S5 sitting here waiting for some headlight brackets to arrive from Germany, we mounted two different 19″ Hartmann Wheels so we can add images to our gallery. On one side the Audi S5 sported the Hartmann HS5 – 209 Wheels styled after the factory S5 wheel, with the exception of having a machined face on our version. On the other, the new RS6-styled Hartmann HRS6 – 204s . Below are the results…

Both sets of wheels are 19×8.5 with a 25mm offset. The car is lowered on STaSIS Ohlins SL Suspension and the rear wheels could stand to come out about 5 more millimeters. Those of you looking to get an even more aggressive stance with these wheel specs could easily achieve this by adding an H&R 10mm spacer up front and 20mm spacers out back.

Oliver stopped by to say hello and shoot the breeze with us as it had been a while since we had seen him. Oliver has been bringing his cars to Achtuning to satisfy his performance needs for many years now and his most recent car, a B7 Audi A4 2.0T was brought to us last Fall the day he took delivery of the car to receive an APR chip, STaSIS Streetsport Coil-Overs, and 19″ RS4-style wheels. (car shown below with his stock, winter wheels)

He had been drooling over the S5-styled Hartmann HS5 – 209 Wheels since the day we brought it in and when he had announced his recent engagement to his better-half, we were compelled to make him an offer we knew he couldn’t refuse. 10-minutes later…

Wrapping 235/35-19 Falken FK452 tires around the 19×8.5 (et38) Hartmann 209 Wheels and swapping Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors over from the stock wheels took no time, and within the next hour Oliver was on his way home to show the wife-to-be the “new shoes”. (Don’t worry, she approved!)
