OEM Audi wheels that are available on the Q7 are:
19 inch - 8.5 x 19, ET28 using a 255/55 tire
20 inch - 9.0 x 20, ET33 using a 285/45 tire
21 inch - 9.5 x 21, ET31 using a 285/40 tire
all (obviously) with 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6 center bore, & M14x1.5 lug bolts.
I just bought five of these 21's: ST?SIS SE12 21x10" Wheel Sets - Wheels and went with the Conti DWS in 295/40-21. The ride is much better than the 20" RFT's. I have had many sets of the Contis before, and they are quiet, stick very well, and are actually very good in the snow...best part is that all of the four that I mounted took very little wheel weight to balance perfectly which I take as a sign of well made wheels and tires.

I would love to see some pics as well. I'm looking to buy another set of wheels likely for dedicated snows. My dealer quoted me $4300 for the 21' Audi Sport 5 Twin Spoke wheels. Trying to find an acceptable alternative but I may just end up mounting Cont DWS06's on the 21's it is delivered with and selling the summer tires.
For those that interested in a 20" winter tire & audi replica wheels setup, I just ordered the combo set below from the local MN dealer. Total package installed about $2600. I could probably get the wheels via ebay for less, but don't want to go thru the hassle if it not right.
Hartmann HRS6-091 20x9.00 5x112: $370 x 4 = 1480
Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance 285/45R20 112V : $261 x 4 = 944 (w/ $100 off tire promo)
Blackcoco, those look really nice, but if the OEMs are ET33 and these are ET29 (according to Hartmann's own info), are they still going to be ok? Or is that why the wheels require new lug bolts?

I am also interested in the Hartmann wheels for a winter setup. I originally ordered a 2017 Q7 Prestige but the production for my car was delayed. My dealer made it ver much worth my while to take a nearly identical car, except it has a the 21" wheel package.
I emailed Hartmann as I am interested in this wheel:
The response I got was that I could go with the 19" wheel (ET25 vs OEM ET28) as the 3mm difference is in the acceptable range for Audi vehicles. He did add that different bolts are needed than typically used for these wheels for an A4 or S4. They are $4.00/ea. Still deciding 19" vs 20".
For anyone interested, a higher offset moves the wheels closer to the centerline of the car, and a negative offset will move the wheels away from the center of the car. This went against my intuition, but made sense once i looked at some pictures online.
