Default Anyone got the 7-double-spoke wheels?



I'm trying to decide between the 7-double-spoke wheels pictured above and the 5-segment spoke design (below) but can't find many pictures of the 7-double-spoke. Could someone please share theres here?

thanks

Bit dated. Lots of Q7s have them in 21". I thought they were known as TT rims??

The seven dual-spokes look great. Nice choice.

Where and how much? Just curious.

I'm also considering these for for a summer set of wheels/tires. Haven't been able to find them in 21" (in Q5 fitment), otherwise that would be tempting.

Personally I think it's not that close, the 5-tri spoke is nicer. It's more aggressive and sporty looking. This is typically the case when comparing 5-spoke vs. multispoke, though. I guess it depends what look you are going for.

The 7-spoke has definately been around for a while (seems like the most common Q7 wheel) and I've seen tons of A6s with it.

If you did happen to decide on the 7 spoke at least it would be unique. I see 5 Qs a day minimum and have never seen 1 with that wheel.

Any idea is those are 20's? I was a bit concerned that the RS4 type wheels in 20" may look small on the Q5....

Thanks,

well i hadn't seen the 7-double-spoke wheels in person so i chickened out and went with the 5-segemetn wheel. I think this has been the hardest thing for me, choosing options and colors without actually seeing it in person.

I have the rs4 ones as I didn't like any of the other wheels. Unfortunately the wheels must be made from butter or something as they are incredibly soft and even tiny stones remove large chunks of paint & alloy from them. They are also very hard to clean. I wish they offered them in 17", 18" or 19" for that matter. I would also take a dark colour as as soon I touch the brakes they are covered in brake dust which has now fused into the paint and cannot be cleaned.
