Q5 Rims

[whatsanaudi]

Any idea if any of the other wheels in the Audi family (Q7/A6?) fit on the Q5? I couldn't update my order quick enough to select the optional 19's and really want to change up the wheels to an 19" or 20" for summer.

A quick look to ebay doesn't yield many results for the Q5.

Thanks.

Becareful on the older Gen Audi wheels, a lot of them the hub size are 57.1mm. Q5 hub size is 66.6mm. So you need to find wheels that with hub size 66.6mm or bigger. When you go bigger hub size, you will need to add hub rings to remove vibration.

Thanks. I wish I could find someone who made a replica 20" S Line. I'm having the dealer price out new, but I can guarantee they will be $4K.

Whatsanaudi,
Did you see the post that I started a while ago?

I ordered the 2009 20" Rims for my 2010 S Line coming in May; just prefer them. Therefore, I will be with a set of 4 new 2010 spoke rims in May. My dealer will move the tires to the 2009 rims and install. I don't know how much shipping would be to Alberta, but if you're interested, perhaps we can make a deal.

Great thanks for all the info.

My 18" VMR V710's wrapped in Bridgestone Blizzac DM-V1's arrived yesterday and go on the Q5 this friday. They "should" fit or so I am told but will know when I pick up the car at the end of day on friday. Will post pics of them on the car. Here's what they look like. I picked up the Gunmetal finish as these are winter wheels and I wanted them to be darker as I "dig" that look.

I spoke with VMR directly and asked for a wheel that would fit the hub fitment of the Q5 Sline without any issues and they told me in 18" that this is the only wheel that would fit. 19" opens up more possibilities for wheel choices but I wanted the extra rubber as we live in a city where road repair is dead last on the list of priorities.

All told the wheels and tires including taxes, shipping, etc... were around $2,500 CAD.

Great pick! I have been debating to go to a darker rim as well and seeing as yours is Lava I'd love to see how it looks. I understand Lava isn't available in the US and there are so few owner pics on this site. May I ask which dealer you ordered with? Are the new rims your winters only?

Silly question about the winters when I re-read they were blizzaks...
