Default 'Genuine' set of 20" Q7 diamond cut alloys for £400?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1120195491...torefresh=true

I'm going to put it out there and say that these are probably made in China and would crack as soon as you encounter a pothole? Although they seem to have all the correct markings on the back of the spokes and would look cracking on a [my] D3 I reckon!

The markings do look like the real deal indicating that they are OEM.
I've never seen such a wheel on a Q7 however which makes me think they are of suspect origin. Might be worth contacting the seller for more information.

The new Q7 has 20" in this design, but I don't recall seeing these in 21" on any new Audi either.

Messaged the seller and they confirmed the price is for all 4, they are genuine and there is no damage

Yeah, that's not how you measure a rim. They are 20" 4L0601025H. Good price for all 4!

Very good price for genuine freshly refurbished rims and they do look very different with the colour scheme which could be good or bad depending on taste. The advert is rubbish and does not say much, if you don't buy them I just might, not for myself nut to make a bit of money. I reckon with a proper advert and a bit of patience I would get £600-800 for them. But keep in mind that Q 7 has PCD of 5x130mm instead of 5x112mm and larger centre bore so you would need adapters to put them on 8.

In addition to what Ainars said, the offset is ET60

These look like the same Q7 wheel mounted on a D3
