Q7 20" wheels for winters?

I was looking for winters for CTT and was on the fence between 19" and 20", but I just do not like the look of 19" on CTT, and I am worried that handling will be too mushy compared to GT3 on 20" and CTT on 22". So I am leaning towards 20".

Now I know the wheels will get scratched up by ice and other crap, so I'm trying to get a nice used deal. The best option I found seems to be 20" Q7 OEM take-offs. Any concerns there? I actually like the look better than Cayenne 20".

I am not a big fan of replicas - heard too many stories of cracking wheels and being left on the side of the road in winter. But maybe it's blown out of proportion and I should just get a set of new replicas? If so, any better brands out there?

I've seen on numerous other posts here many members are running OZ wheels, winter packages from tire rack.

Do all Audi Q7 and Toureg wheels fiit the 958? Still waiting for my CTTS to arrive and will be looking for new winter wheels too.

Exactly what I did - nice OZ wheels on sale at Tirerack were cheaper than used take-off and I preferred the look.

I have the OZ wheels as well. They look great and my contact, the owner of a major tire chain, says they're very high quality. I have 19" OZs on my GTS
