I have a problem though.....but it's good problem to have.

I bought some replica 20" wheels for the the 3.0.

Do I go for the new replica wheels or stick it with the OEM's? The obvious choice seems to be OEM...but it would look good to be different than the standard 4.8is.

These are the replica 20's...

These are the factory 20's

Alano,
The replica 20's are identical to the standard 19" wheels that came with my '05 Diesel Sport. Which ever wheels you decide to go with, will look "standard" as far as I can see. Take my advice, and choose what appeals to you most.
Regards Colin.

Whatever you like. I prefer OEM 4.8is wheels as they are original and identify with the 4.8is. The 132 replicas you have came on 4.4i with sport I believe.

Black on Black.

Now I'm just waiting for my winter rims/tires to show up! 19's staggered. I had to drive it home through the mountains....not fun on the stock Diamaris 20's!

In meantime...I've been 'playing' with stuff in the garage. I updated the Nav firmware to latest version....the perspective view is awesome. Thanks so much to everyone on this board for posting the info on how to do that. I would never have known that it was possible. My dealer assured me I had the most current version.......but it was on V23......it took me 10 minutes on this forum to update it to v30......I just shake my head.

I'm still confused on the whole bluetooth thing.....I know...I know...it's been posted a 100 times....believe me I've read them all. What I do know is that I can't get it to work but there is a bluetooth antenna in the back.
