Yeah, something like that is great, but way too expensive and my wife would destroy them in days.

Thanks for the feedback. I am leaning towards #1, which is actually the Q7 S-line accessory wheels, and very similar to the RS4 wheel as JBF pointed out. I agree with Tony that #2 matches the beefiness of the Q7 better, but I think they are a little too common. They are one of the factory wheels offered, and just yesterday I saw two Q7's with them....

Not sure if this will work, but this is the link to Discount Tire's rendering of #1 on the car: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/int...0304&rc=TCCINT


And here is a pic of the second on a Q7:

I knew you would toss up a bad *** shot Will. I was trying to find some but not sure Josh will drop the Q7 with his wife's driving ability!!! I can tell he is looking cheap.

Unfortunately, this is true.... I've seen those pics of the Q5 on Audizine. Sick, but just not for my Q7. Honestly, if I was going to do that, I would buy an A4 Avant, and do something along those lines. It seems a little overkill for a SUV.

I went ahead and ordered #1, and some tires today. They should be in by early next week. That was the other advantage with #1 is they were through Discount Tire and would come in much quicker. I'll post up some pics when I get them on....

I mainly upgraded because the 265/50/19's that are on the stock wheels are very limited in selection and really expensive (all $250+). I basically got the 20" wheels and tires for about $200 more than what I would have spent to replace the stock tires. The 275/45/20 tire size just has a lot better selection, and a lot lower prices.... At least this is the way I justified it to the wife.

Oh, and I figure I can sell the 19" stockers for $4-500 at least....
