Thinking of finding a set of these in 20" so that we can run the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires. This way we will have a year round ride with no compromise in performance or handling. Also looks like this setup will end up about 20-25 lbs lighter per wheel which should also give a nice performance gain as well. Anyone else run the OZ wheels on their SQ5 or even the Q5?

These are great wheels!

I bought them in 19" with black and installed Blizzaks. They really look great on my white SQ5. I'm tempted to get them in 20" for summer tires, because I have yet to find another wheel I like better...

My car came with the optional 21's. Thinking about exact setup you describe if I decide to drive to NY during cold weather months. Seems the weight savings would improve both handling and ride. I really liked the look on the Tire Rack site.

You can find them on TireRack.

Well after talking to the manager of the local Discount Tire I deal with, they cant get the OZ wheel as it is a Tirerack exclusive along with the BBS line as well. They mentioned another brand by Niche which I was able to find a mince comparable wheel. Then went and looked at TSW wheels and found once of their forged wheels. Looking like the TSW Geneva in the matte grey will be the one, along with the Continental DSW06 tires. The TSW wheels are 25lbs per wheel versus the stock 21" wheel of 35, stock tires are 31lbs and the Continental DSW06 are 29lbs.
So looks like a nice 12lb drop per wheel, plan is to order the new setup at the end of summer before the next winter season hits or before we need tires. Currently have 10k miles on the stock Dunlops, I don't see them going much longer than 15k miles or so.

Going through the same process with our new to us 2015 SQ5...12k on the Pirelli's and they look to be almost done...

Wow. done 13k miles on my Michelins and they still look like new!

Those look great...I may consider them for my '14 SQ5. I really like the weight savings.
Can you tell me if you're going wider than the 8.5" stock...maybe 9" or 10"?
If so, what offset are you going with?
Thanks much,
Jason

I was thinking about the Geneva's as well. You can run 20x10 +25 offset. If you don't mind, what price were you quoted for the wheels and for what size? For reference, I was quoted $300/wheel for the 20x10. They were also pushing the Continental ControlContact Sport AS over the DSW06. Tire size was 275/40/20. Total package with insurance and lifetime rotation and balance was $2100 (after $200 rebate). I thought it was a pretty good deal.

Did you look at the TSW Mechanica by any chance?

TJay74

Actually the Mechanica was the other wheel I was looking at as well, the wife likes the look of the Geneva so we settled on that one. As of now I am right at $2100 in the 20" x 8.5", I would love to go with a 20"x9" or a 20"x10".


The stock wheels are +33ET which puts them slightly inboard, on the 20x10 with +25ET is that going to put the wheel flush? Part of me wants to run a wider wheel/tire setup. Not that the SQ5 is overpowering the current 255 tires, but a nice 275 tire on a 9 or 10 inch wide wheel would provide more grip as well.
