Finally found some wheels for the 2017 Q7. Got some Audi A8L, 10 Double Spoke rims from a friend and mounted on 275-45-20 Blizzaks from my 2010 Q7. Everything is working well.
I wanted to reuse my OE 2012 Q7 18" winter set with Michelin X-Ice tires on (less than 1/32" worn), but as the bolt pattern changed for new generation Q7s - it was not feasible. I've ended up selling the set - to good hands. I firmly believe that the less alloy and the more rubber in winter set is - the better this set is for winter driving. So, I've ordered 18" rims with Blizzaks DM-V2 on them from the Tire Rack and have them installed about three weeks ago. It was a pleasant surprise how nice a ride the Blizzaks offer - perhaps more quiet and smooth than Michelins X-Ice which I've used on my other three vehicles before... Another surprise - I actually do like the rims from the Tire Rack available for this size of tires. They did look fairly mediocre on the web-site, but in real life they match well Orca Black Q7.

any pics? i'm thinking of getting that set also.. but i have never seen the actual wheels..
I had had a nice set of Porsche Cayenne 20’s that I used for my Winter Rims on my 2010 Q7 , but with the bolt pattern change from 5x130 to 5x112, they are just sitting in the garage now.
