Just ordered these wheels

Tentative arrival date, April 28th, so I'm expecting it the following week since everything I ever do is always delayed.

What's coming? X3 35i in silver , the dealer is buying back the 18' all seasons for about 175/tire and I'm keeping the rims for my winter tires. For summer, these in 19' are coming:

In gloss black. Don't worry, there will be a pictures when she's all setup. If anyone has any after market wheels and wants to post them, please do.

Has anyone modded the sound system? I'm going to swap the speakers put in an amp/subs also. I have a 4 year old system in my cayenne and PRAYING everything is the right size.

wow, going from a Cayanne S to a X3?

Why didn't you just have the dealer swap out the all-season tires for the winter ones? Usually if the cost is around the same they would do it for free, cheaper than getting $175 back from them and then paying $200+ for your winter tires.

Trust me, I asked them. He said 1/4 of all people ask that question, because by law, you need winter tires Dec15-March15, and so they don't do it. I bought continental contact DW, the tread is good, and a couple of tire dealers here recommended it.

Ya, the Cayenne S is soooooooooo much fun to drive, but I can't afford the maintenance on it. It's a 2005 and it's time to let her go.

I got ripped off, 329cad locally. In the US I think you can get them way cheaper, probably 250-270 if I had to guess.

Everything is cheaper in the US 'cause we pass all the extra cost on to the Canadians -- just 'cause we can. After all, they have national health care and we don't . . .
