I don't drive like a granny and our roads are decent but I've never bent a wheel in my 16 years of driving

Thanks

You cannot buy the 7x19 rims aftermarket. They don't exist. Hartmann claims their 8.5x19 will fit SQ5. I went Audi OEM. That's a good price, and the tires/rims work great in extreme conditions in the Rocky Mountains. Don't let the forum people convince you that you cannot spend as much as YOU want to on your tires and rims. And they look fantastic! It's amazing what washing them will do to reduce wear. I at least rinse my car after every snowfall.

No problem, the blanket statements and misinformation got to me. I apologize.

To add another idea to this topic:

I just picked up 4 OEM take-off wheels from my local dealership. 19x8 ET39. Because I bought the car there, I was out the door at $600. On Saturday I'm getting some Blizzak DM-V1 235/55R19s mounted up at America's Tire. Those are running $167/tire +$16/tire install. So, $732 out the door...except for they are having a sale this weekend and I'll get $100 rebate plus a Bridgestone jacket. So make that $632 and a jacket on my back.

So all in all, I'm getting OEM quality wheels and new Blizzaks for $1232. That is less that aftermarket. Talk to your dealer for take-offs and look around...here's the website for my dealer, where someone could get some wheels at good prices: http://audiusaparts.com/partlocator/...subcat1=208698

Also, I don't believe that it would be prudent, even IF they fit, to run an 18. There isn't much room on the 19s, and through wheel weights and road stuff in the mix, and it just doesn't seem like a good call.
