lol you got that right! Yea so far we've had a mild winter, still a few months to go though. They have something here called Royal Club car wash subscriptions, I pay $30 per month. There's one located at the end of my street so I'm guessing I might just have the cleanest Q5 in Monroe County. I'm cringing at the thought of running a Defender through there three times per week though, especially after DeMuro's new video with the trim falling off during his cross country trip. Slovakia needs a better glue gun apparently.

Thanks TrioLRowner, those look nice, a lot more detail is visible in these pics vs the online builder. They're much more gray in your pics than my monitor shows in the online builder. I'm wondering now if the eiger gray paint paired up with these wheels would be a whole lot of gray going on.

For other wheel options they have that 19in gloss black which is kind of six spoke 'open' design, I'm not in love with it but honestly there aren't many 'darker' wheel options at the 18-19in sizes.

Looking forward to it. Carpathian looks really compelling to me paired up with those black 19in wheels. I know that's a lot of darkness, even without the black pack on it, looks sinister.

There are so few 19" off-road tire options in the tire marketplace, that I would never recommend that size for anyone who has purchased the off-road package --- either go with 18" on the P300 or 20" on the P400.
