Hi everyone, I have an X-dynamic arriving in the next 30 days or so...Feel lucky I found it my dealer had a customer order that fell thru-car is nicely spec'd, but...
The wheels it comes with are the: 20" Style 5094, Satin Dark Grey, but I would prefer: 20" Style 5098, Satin Dark Grey.

I had no luck getting dealer or factory to swap them out before shipping or at port, so... has anyone had luck getting dealer to swap with something on their lot (long shot because inventory is so low I am thinking) or finding a like minded local (Chicagoland) who would prefer opposite wheels...

Interested in experiences or advice-

Appreciate it!
Alan

 

I can't quite help you as I'm on the west coast but FWIW I do like the 5094's alot and several times have wondered if having them in the dark grey on mine would look better than the dark grey 20" 5098's I have (the ones you're looking for)

There's a guy in Portland OR here with a black X-Dynamic and the dark 5094's and they are pretty awesome looking in person, side by side with my car.

(I know, completely unhelpful but they are cool in person when dark grey... both wheels I think look equally a bit garden variety in sparkle silver)

 

Here are my 94s in dark grey. The 98s are a very nice choice, and at $200 extra it’s immaterial for anyone buying this truck. For a street-oriented SUV the 98s look the business, but I felt like the 94s are a bit more offroady looking with raised ribs on the edges of the spokes so I went that direction. The fact that my favorite of the many wheel options happened to be the stock, zero-cost one was maybe the most amazing thing about my build. That NEVER happens.

 

Yep have to agree those look good as well. Definitely a first world problem for sure. Gonna keep hunting for a swap and keep on top of the dealer for any ideas as well....

 

I have a set of 5 20" 5098 wheels in gloss black with Duratrac tires if you'd be interested in a potential swap. The tires and wheels have 500 miles on them in 3 months. I have a Carpathian Grey P400 so the dark satin might be a nice change. Just a thought!

What color is your defender?

 

Carpathian Grey.

 

How do you find the Duratrac’s noise wise on the road?

 

Honestly not as bad I had expected. More noise at lower speeds but once you get up to highway speeds they are fairly quiet. There is a definite difference in driving feel due to the obvious width difference in wheels/tires, but they have performed well this winter. Looking forward to getting the 22's back on for the summer and that tighter handling.....
