Audi Q7 20" wheel crack + air leak
Hi all,
I have factory 20" wheels on my Q7 and last year I fix one of the wheels that had 3 minor cracks in the inner side and I had it repaired. Last week I found another one leaking and I took if off and found 3 minor cracks too but only one of the cracks was leaking.
So...this is weird because there is no sign of damages, just minor cracks.
Now I plan to replace the whole set:
option 1: another set of factory 20"(used)?
option 2: replica 20"?
option 3: 18" or 19"? ( but my 20" tires are still like new)
option 4: Dealear recommends me to replace for a set of porsche cayenne's, said they are better quality than audi's (the problem is thay don't look good on Q7s)
Any sugestions?

I wouldn't go with the Porsche wheels either. It just wouldn't look right.
Hartmann makes some quality wheels and they do have a 20" option in the Rs4 style.

Any updates? Replica wheels look amazingly good. There are some HRE wheels at tirerack that are incredible also. However they will set up back an arm and a leg, but still may be cheaper than OEM.

I got a used wheel removed from a almost new Q7 for a very low price, so I'm keeping it's factory look until it/they crack again.
