Yes the two tone wheels will help hide the famous Audi brake dust

I had a volvo xc90 and that beats all for break dust!!! If anything our audi's have been light on the break dust / wear and harder on the discs than other cars I could compare.

Either way I agree it will mitigate the horrible look you get when the brake dust is collecting - however its a horrendous oversite of Audi uk to take advantage of customers in that respect - at 1600 uk pounds - that $3k!!! what are they on. Grudgingly I'm going for them.

Default Just remember when choosing wheels

you can't lose with 22s.

Aren't those the optional 21" S-Line wheels instead of the 20" wheels that come with S-Line

Here is the Northeast you will lose the tire &amp; wheel on just one pothole.

Default I'm in NYC and no stranger to potholes

Those are the 21-inch version of the S-line wheels and the 22-inch line was a joke. I don't think the 20s for the Q7 will be much of a problem for our infamously bad and poorly maintained roads. Only the huge, air-bag deploying pot-holes should pose a threat to the 19and 20inch wheels. But anyone that lives here knows that there are pot-holes that destroy 15 inch wheels around here also. Best advice I can give is to get whichever wheels that look best to you and just be careful.

Yep, when I'm in NYC, I seem to find (and hit) big potholes even in the middle of summer.
