Figured it was about that time
275/45 Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2s on 20" replicas (replacing 21" OEM)

What replicas are those? That seems like a decent set up....

How much $ were replicas and tires?

Cadx6

Wheels are from a dealer in Arizona thru eBay - $779 + $119 shipping.
Tires from my local Suburban Tire shop - $229/ea + mount & balance. They also provide storage for whichever set isn't on the car.

They're basically an exact replica of my 21" OEMs except they're 20" with the same specs as the 20" OEM 10 spokes that come standard on Prestige. The finish is slightly different - "titanium" vs silver.

Your set up looks great. Which ebay dealer did you use? Do the wheels seem well made? I worry a bit about putting cheap wheels on a 5000 lb car...Thanks.

Settled for the simple solution, 21" Scorpion Winters, had arranged for a complete set of 20" OEM shipped from overseas, but eventually gave up, in part because my dealer wouldn't sign off on the ET 36" mm offset. Hope to see 20" OEM winter wheels as option in the US for next winter.

Euro Wheels USA in Phoenix. I don't see these exact wheels on their website but they show up in their Ebay store occasionally. There are also other sellers with apparently the same product.
I'm not a wheel expert but my Tire guy inspected them when he mounted the tires & he was of the opinion that they were good quality. They use ball seat lugs so the stock lug bolts worked just fine.
According to my dealer a lot of the factory OEM wheels are now made in China so I figure chances for a quality product are decent. Got a couple hundred miles on them & so far no problems - no vibration, low or high speed.
My tire guy did say to be sure to retorque them after about 100 miles.

Do your wheels have 33 or 35 offset? Think it matters? The same eBay site has some 20" replicas in black with 35 offset but bolt pattern the same.Thanks

I'm torn on buying a winter setup or just swapping to a DWS06's on my stock black optics 21's. I live in Seattle so we don't get that much snow and I go to the mountains here and there. How are the 21 295/40's in terms of fit on the Q7... the price difference on getting a set of 20" winter wheels would be a little more and I have space for the second set, I'm just not sure it is worth it. Especially with how little snow we get.
