Obviously personal opinion, but as someone that has gone reps in the past I would tell you to keep an eye out for an OEM set. My experience has been that the offset in addition to how much the wheel is 'concave' (on the face) is different for the reps and the OEM wheels just seem to look better to my eye (to me the reps have a more 'flat face'). I should probably dig up a pic of the reps I had previously on my '09 Q5 for reference.
I may be selling one of my sets of 20" peelers (just picked up a set of 21" S8 wheels that I've been patiently searching for) if you're interested. Just have to make up my mind.

Titanium 20" peelers on an SQ5 as winter wheels?
Yup, that's exactly what I did. I'm the one who bought Mark P's titanium peelers that came off his S-line TDI
Had a set of Blizzak DM-V1 mounted yesterday, but going to hold off from putting them on the car until absolutely necessary (probably not until there's legitimate forecast for wintery conditions) because I'm loving the look of the 21" stock wheels so much that I want to keep them on a while longer. Though I have a feeling these 20" titanium peelers are gonna make some bad *** looking winter shoes on the SQ5.

Nothing better than a real AWD vehicle with real winter tires. That's going to be a blast

I will not know for certain for a couple of weeks (pending how the 21" wheel I just received fits, etc. with tires). I have had a number of people contact me and have a list started of folks that would have interest....
Thanks,
