All you need are some Valve Caps that light up at night!!! Offset is just over about 10mm, otherwise looks original, never seen those rims on an S5 before.

If they were ten inches wide with some real meat on there, I suppose it would look better. but since it's actually what, an 8" wide wheel (the Starion wheels, right?), it just looks kinda goofy.

The Good:
+ Widened rear track will make the rear more stable during cornering maneuvers.
+ Decreased overall tire diameter will make the car accelerate faster.


The Bad:
- Front track remains at stock width: car will be prone to understeer.
- Increased stress will lead to premature failure of wheel-bearings.
- Decreased overall tire diameter will decrease the top speed in each gear, forcing driver to shift more often. Overall fuel economy might decrease.
- Mismatched rims are ugly. No girlies for you.
