2014 Audi S5 | 19" 2-Piece Forged Mesh · Glossy Gunmetal Center + Gloss Black Lip

Engineering Notes

Square width and split offset make this page different from the other S5 project.

All four wheels measure 19×10, but front ET25 and rear ET30 place the same nominal width differently at each axle. That allows the wheel face to remain visually consistent without pretending that front and rear body clearance are identical. Current specifications record 5×112 PCD, CB66.5 mm and a 750 kg load rating.

Mesh geometry is considerably denser than the split-spoke design used on the 2016 S5. Multiple branching sections form a layered radial pattern, making the center feel more technical and visually deeper. Glossy gunmetal keeps enough light on those surfaces for individual branches to remain visible.

Gloss black is reserved for the independent rim. Because both finishes are dark, separation comes from tone, reflection and component depth rather than an obvious color contrast. Exposed hardware bridges the two areas and stops the outer section from disappearing completely into the barrel.

Published wheel weights are 11.9 kg front and 11.7 kg rear. The rear figure is marginally lower despite identical width, and there is no need to invent an explanation for that difference—the verified values are already more useful than a generic lightweight claim.

Square Does Not Mean Identical

Matching 19×10 dimensions create one consistent overall wheel size.

Offset then handles the axle-specific positioning.

That is a more nuanced engineering story than a conventional stagger, because visitors have to look beyond nominal width to understand why the front and rear specifications remain different.

From Design to Delivery

Assembly integrity matters because gunmetal center and black outer section remain separate forged components, while axle-specific ET values require each version to be checked against its own drawing.

• CMM dimensional inspection on PCD, bore & offset
• Torque-spec assembly hardware, sealed & pressure-tested
• Dynamic balancing on every wheel
• Load-rated to 750kg per wheel

Result

Dark finishes give this wheel a more technical character than the lighter split-spoke S5 set without turning the face into a featureless black disc.

Gunmetal keeps the mesh visible. Black pushes the lip and barrel visually backward. Exposed fasteners sit between those two depths, giving the wheel a layered appearance that becomes more pronounced as the viewing angle changes.

The effect is detailed rather than loud—appropriate for a wheel whose strongest feature is the structure of the mesh itself.

19×10 on Both Axles

Width is square from front to rear.

That keeps the mesh center at one consistent scale and avoids the need to create a visibly deeper rear face merely for appearance.

ET25 Front / ET30 Rear

Five millimeters separates the offsets.

Small on paper, that change allows the two axles to use different face positions while retaining equal width. It is exactly the sort of fitment detail that should stay connected to the actual vehicle rather than disappearing under the label “square setup.”

Mesh Needs a Dark Frame

Gunmetal alone already creates a dense visual center.

Using gloss black at the perimeter prevents the rim from competing with the mesh and makes the wheel appear deeper from an angle. A polished silver lip would create a very different, much brighter character.

No Spacer Rings in the Existing Project

Current Engineering Notes state that the hub-centric setup was produced without spacer rings.

For another S5 with different suspension or brake hardware, share the vehicle setup with Xingtu before simply reusing ET25/ET30.

1. Are these Audi S5 wheels staggered?

Width is square at 19×10, although the front and rear use different offsets.

2. What are the offsets?

ET25 is used at the front and ET30 at the rear.

3. Why use two offsets with the same wheel width?

Different axle positioning can be addressed while preserving one common 19×10 wheel size and mesh-face proportion.

4. How much do the wheels weigh?

The page lists 11.9 kg front and 11.7 kg rear.

5. What load rating is specified?

750 kg per wheel.

6. Are spacer rings required?

Existing Engineering Notes state that no spacer rings are used for this specific fitment.

7. Why pair gunmetal with a black lip?

Gunmetal keeps the intricate mesh readable, while black visually recedes around the perimeter and gives the center greater depth.
