It's called the "raptor"... I don't know wether it's available in the states or not.. I tried a quick internet search and all places that stock this rim are in Europe.

The Orca Black Q7 with California plates has spacers installed. If I recall correctly they are 23mm Front & 30mm Rear. (The most common is 18mm Front 23mm Rear.)
And this is why I love this board!

What should I expect to spend for H&R Spring installation and Alignment on my 2009 Q7 with 3.6.

Your input is well appreciated.

4.5-5hrs labor + 4 wheel alignment.
then another 4.5-5hrs labor removing them a few weeks later and then installing coilover suspension and then selling the springs for 60% off what you paid for them new. so skip the springs and do the right thing or leave it stock.

How about we add more detail in terms of what type of suspension Coilovers/Springs as well as the Wheels/Tires being used.

The rims on the Q7 are Gianelle Yerevan 24" and the Q5 are Giovanna Mecca. When I uploaded I had the names in the title but I guess that did not transfer over. I am not familiar with the other spec's requested.

And apologies for posting the Q5 in this Q7 forum but as Icon so eloquently posted those wheels are disgusting lol ..
