I'm interested in this information too. Realistically, the biggest downside to this is going to be the price for the OEM wheel unless one of the good guys is already making a copy. Ideally I would like one set of wheels with all seasons but that dream is getting more and more distant.

Also looking to change wheels here. Trying to have a more concave look but doesn't look too promising with the Q

Why aren't concave wheels possible with the Q7?

no idea on the quality or where you are based out of, but if you will go to 21's, these basically look the same and would save a ton of $$ over OEM

While it shows it fits 'Q7', when putting in 2017 Q7 it says it isn't supported.

I think that config drop down is off as they say in the description..

"These Wheels Are Perfect For Audi A6 A7 A8 S6 S7 S8 Q5 And 2017 Q7 With 5X112 DC . Wheels come with a lifetime structural and one year finish warranty"
.

They are out of San Diego, so I suppose a quick call would confirm. Not a bad price, thats for sure.

Those wheels look great.

Downside is more expensive tires.

Cost of wheels.

Possibly harsher ride.

Maybe no winter tires available for them, if you ever wanted that.

Personally I would never spend the $3500 to $6000 such wheels can cost, but people do.

Only disadvantages are ride quality and cost. In my opinion, 22's help balance an otherwise somewhat homely design. I picked up some 21" Vossens for the stock Summer performance tires that came on my wife's q7. I put Conti DWS06's on the oem 21" wheels.
The ride is a bit harsh.

Ahh..so its not just me. Would you agree the DWS06's are definitely not as buttery smooth feeling as the OEM Conti's? It seems the DWS started out feeling good, but now 2k miles on them and I am feeling the rotation of the tires / road more then I would like. Same for you??
