Thanks all! I'm really enjoying it so far. I absolutely love the color, the anthracite headliner, the seats (multi-contour, ventilated/heated, active) are fantastic, adaptive suspension is fantastic, the premium stereo is hands down the best OEM system I've yet to own (although I've bought and installed better sounding systems at significant premiums in previously owned vehicles).

The ride is great. Taught enough that you know it's capable, but compliant enough that it's really pretty comfortable.

I will have a full VentureShield application done tomorrow morning, and ceramic tint soon thereafter.

Curious why you chose not to upgrade to he 20's? I did the same because i currently have the 20's (214) and i was tired of the cost of tires and road noise. Looking at the pictures they seem to fill the wheel well very nice with the extended flares.

Honestly, I was trying to bring the price down on the configuration a little bit from what my "pie in the sky" version was, and this was one thing that made sense. I'm happy with it, and the ride with the 19's is great too.

The 20's are great looking wheels though. I think the 19's have a similar rolling diameter and so appear to fill the wheel wells the same way.
