need help picking winter wheels
i just got a good deal on a set of 19" snow tires....problem is that i was planning on getting 18" wheels for winter.
moving up to a 19" wheel, my wife want to get something more "stylish" as long as its black.
q5 is daytona grey with no chrome so thats not a problem....here are my final choices based on not exceed her budget of ~$800.
love, hate, insights appreciated.

Did you already buy the tires? An average deal on 18" snow tires is still cheaper than a good deal on 19" snow tires. 19" wheels cost more too. I was even considering going down to 17's for my winter wheels because that's the OEM sizing, but decided to stick with 18's.

It looks like 2 and 4 are directional designs. The blades and bends will be "opposite" on the other side. Get it? And that drives me bonkers.
But I went ahead and got these MSW OZ that just happen to be almost perfect Daytona Gray. 18-inch works fine in 6-10 inch snow.

No to all of them. #1 and 2 have funn-looking center caps which contrast oddly with the wheel color. #3 looks machine-lipped which is weird for a winter wheel, #4 has an odd blade pattern. Maybe I just need to see them on the car, but none appeal to me individually.
