Congrats, I'm sure you'll love it! We use our Q5 as a ski car; indeed one of the reasons we bought it was because my BMW is RWD with wide tires and can't handle any snow at all.

I agree the Q5...

I'm male, but the Q is my wife's car. I drive it when we're driving together, but my car is a 3 series coupe. Next one will be a sedan, either an S4 or another 3 series.

ECS Tuning and AutohausAZ are both good. I'm partial to Dave Zeckhausen (Zeckhausen.com). Even if you don't order from him, his site has a lot of good information.

Not just you. My wife broke ours yesterday. I tried some superglue, but it didn't hold.

I would take the car to a shop and have them check all four wheels. Possibly a bent rim? You've already checked the sidewalls, and I assume no bulging.
