I recently took delivery of a Carrara White Q8 Prestige with the year one package. This has the black optics and the 22” black with polished highlighted wheels. I am from the ‘old school’ and have never warmed to the look of black wheels. The dealer has offered to swap the wheels for a set of the other 22” wheels that are available for the Q8. I know it is a personal choice but wondering what others think. Life is good if this is the hardest decision I have to make. Thank you all for the warm welcome to the ‘newbie’ on the forum. We are lovin our new Q8!

I don't think you can go wrong with either. The other 22's seem to be a more conservative choice. I have seen both in person and they both look great.

I think the option you have on now fits the car well.The black accents all over the car compliment the wheels almost perfectly IMO

Since you’re not a fan of the black swap for “the other 22s” they look sharp on white I’ve seen them. I may have a pic I’ll check...

This car is lowered but you can get the gist...

Also the Euro-spec car pictured does not have the red calipers. Yours will look even better!

Thanks to all for your thoughts...jrjunior31 a special thanks for taking the time to research and post the pics. Can’t tell if the wheels on the euro car have been painted to replace the metallic gray base with black. They do look outstanding on the white Q8. The dynamic setting on the adaptive suspension is also quite low.

This wheel exists (in the EU) with gray as well as black background:

That helps...the Q8 in the pictures above does appear to have the gray background that is available in the US.

To me the Euro car definitely looks like it has the gray background (same as the US wheel) and the car has lowering links, the Adaptive Chassis will not go this low in Dynamic mode. Here’s another pic of the same wheel on a US non-YR1 Q8...
