Rims should be covered for the entire vehicle warranty as well (so if they peel, etc).

You might want to check out this thread on winter sets started last year.

https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q5-...setup-2936255/

I have stock 21" summers, and went with a 19" Hartmann with Continental WinterContacts. Winter setup is much quieter and comfortable, but not as fun as the summer set...and they are WAY quieter than the Nokian Hakka 9 studded set I have for my Q7. Love my Hartmann wheels, but can't comment how they compare to other non-OEM wheels, since I haven't owned any of them.

When I went to Achtuning to get my wheels, my SQ5 was the first 2018 they had in the shop, so they did a lot of measuring, made a template, and tried on a bunch of different wheels and offsets. The front brake calipers on the 2018 SQ5 are much smaller than the first gen SQ5, so even the 17" rim they tried cleared them. Just be aware of the inside wheel/tire clearance. Hartmann wheels also use R13 wheel bolts vs. the R14 that Audi OEM wheels use, so if you go with Hartmann, you will need to buy another set of wheel bolts for your winter set.

Ching: What size are your Continental WinterContact tires on the 19 inch Hartmann wheels? Thanks.
