A7 wheel upgrade - opinions solicited
Hi everyone; sorry if my formatting is poor, I'm a newbie here.
I am looking to upgrade my wheels from the 20" 5-spoke-W design High-gloss Black wheels with 265/35 all-season tires. My ideas so far are:
Blaque Diamond: BD-23, BD-9, or BD-2
Vossen: VFS-1, VFS-10, or CVT
It is practically impossible to find a gallery image that can inform my choice. Having a Tornado Gray A7 does not lend to sexy promo shots!
What say you all? Thanks!

I have been looking at wheels as well. I looked at Blaque Diamond, Stance, Vossen and Rohana. I found it easier to find the images by searching for A7 plus the wheel I was looking at. Some of the manufacturers have really good Youtube videos of their wheels.
Wheel width and offset drove me nuts but what makes me crazy is not all tires with the same size are made the same. A Michelin and a Goodyear and a Pirelli tire may all be 285/30/20 but are different in actual width and how it fits on a wheel. So I quit looking and gave up and will just put new tires on the OEM wheels. lol

All tires have specs posted by the manufacturer or vendor. It's just a matter of crunching the numbers for each wheel/tire combination...and using your current setup as a fitment reference.
I personally like the graphite Vossen VFS1

I went with Savini on my 2014 A7.
I'm in the Atlanta area, but the shop I used has a gallery of different cars with the wheels they've installed. Maybe they have the ones you're looking at.

A few pics of my car from their gallery are attached.

Here is the final finish!
The gloss graphite wheels are a little darker looking than I thought - but it may be this time of year (Seattle is a little cloudy/dark). Still, a pretty mean look!

Looks AWESOME! I haven't yet seen your ride around Pugetropolis, but I'll definitely be on the lookout
