Default YR-1 Wheels

I was at Audi yesterday checking out our new 19 Q7 w/the BOP's optional 22" wheels...I'm wondering if these are the same Audi Sport wheels that are on the YR-1 Q8's??? There was not a Q8 there with the Yr-1 so I could not compare.. I was a bit disappointed to see these where were just painted, as the silver lip and silver spokes were not machined, and the wheels appeared not to clear coated, but maybe is was a matte clear...is this the same as the YR-1 22's?

If these are the Q7 BOP wheels you're referring to - no they're not the same.

They are the same, just a different finish.

Thanks, is it just a darker paint on the spokes between the silver ones, or does the Q8's have a clearcoat or any machining on the silver surfaces too?

It appears the 8's are painted black vs gray and are clear coated with a glossy vs matte finish.

I'd imagine the are both cleared but the Q7's have a matte clear vs gloss. I can't tell fro the pic if the lip etc are just cleared or machined/cleared...any info from Audi on this?
