Default Winter tyres on steel rims

Hello everyone.

Well after stuffing my Q7 into a telephone pole last March one very icy-snowy night[£11K to fix] I want to get some Snow tyres for the Car ready for next winter. Does any one know where I can get a set of steel rims to fit the Q7. My tyres are 275/45 20". Many thanks.

Do you know for certain that a steel wheel is available? I don't know that I would invest a lot of time looking. I've never seen availability on newer Audis...

Welcome aboard, Cearth!

Thanks for the welcome uberwgn.

Well this is what I am trying to find out, does anyone know of any steel rims that would suit. I would like alloy rims but they cost a fortune!!

I'm not aware of any available steel rims. I just purchased a set of used OEM 18" Q7 alloy wheels from someone on Craigslist that was upgrading. I've seen other sets since then. I would try that route. Maybe e-bay. I sense you are in Europe so I don't know if you have something equivalent to Craigslist or not.

I am not sure they exist. I also bought a set of used original audi rims - cost me about $400. Let's assume you would be able to find steel rims for your Q7 - they will cost you same $$$.
