Think there's a typo in your tire size... can you post a photo of the markings on the backside of the spokes? Are they made in China? Was the center cap included?

I need to be getting my winter wheels soon, as well.

The eBay listing doesn't show the logos on the caps. They came with the caps. The backside says: NOT O.E.M

R, the wheels (and rims ) look nice. Who is the mfr?

I have Nokian studded for the Q7. In this side, it would have been about $270 more to get the Nokian, but since this is a brand-new updated General (Continental) model that says meets the latest Finnish standards, I decided to try them. They look good and the rubber feels very soft and grippy.

No idea who made them. The dealer who resells them has over 9000 ebay feedbacks with a 99.9% rating, so they can't be exploding left and right.

Thanks.

Our local, winter roads will certainly put them to the test! I hope they do well.

Hi quick question, I'm looking into getting a set of winter tires + rims. I live in canada and was wondering do I need to get TPMS sensors installed? they are saying its $55 per but then I've been reading 2017 audi a4's use indirect tpms and don't need them? any help would be appreciated.
