Curious how the 19 inch wheels look in person. I love how the 20s look, but it's a lot of wheel for a car that size, and i think the ride and safety of the car would be better with the 19s with all season tires. the 19s look fine in the pics, but want to see how 'small' they appear in the flesh. My current ML350, which is a bigger car, looks great with 19s, wouldn't want the 20s.

All 3 of the Q5's on my local dealership have the 18's (Prem+) and I read on Automobile Magazine that the 20's made a really harsh ride

and don't do the car justice. i think the 19s hit the sweet spot of style/practicality.

I think his depends where you live If the roads are not that good 18's are fine. While the 19's and 20's look great, the extra sidewall rubber of the 18's cushion the the pot hole blows abit better.

Some of the q5 images on truthinengineering.com appears to be the 19" wheels:

for some reason, the ones in the first image look bigger then those in the second image.

And i found these ones as well:

i've seen the truthinengineering photos, but the achtuning photos are a nice find. i think i could live with those, although the 20's do look better. guess i'd have to see/drive them in person before deciding.

i live in NYC, which is pothole central. i just had to replace two very pricey Michelin Diamaris on my ML thanks to bubbles in the sidewall. guess i should go with the 19's.
