The '09 S-line I just purchased a month ago came with the 20" OEM Conti 4x4 Contacts on the S-line 5 spoke rims. Brand new tires and rims on the Q7 and the tires are extremely loud at high speeds. Wife is pretty annoyed by it...as am I. Since they are brand new, I'll just wait until they need a replacement. Already considering Conti DWS Extreme Contacts since I had them in the past and they were outstanding. Also, would like to go up in size to 295s.

Thanks for the pics Bikerbazz! Those definitely have a bit more rubber protecting the rims. Just keep in mind that your speedo and odometer are running a bit faster than they should be and you will be racking up the miles 5% faster than you actually are. The rims you have probably aren't oem though, since Audi never made the RS4 style wheel in a 20" size iirc...just 21"s. Those look to be Hartmann reps. Can you confirm what width the wheels are? I believe the Hartmanns only come in 20x9 and 22x9.5. Thanks!
