Sadly I chose my new wheels based on my existing tires but I also wanted to stay with the stock size. I'm not sure how the car would ride with a lower profile 19" setup but mine is plenty stiff as is.

Is the OEM tire inflator worth a darn or am I better off just sourcing something more modern from Amazon?

Mine has ever only been used once, but it worked like a charm.

...and now there's a freak mini snowstorm today after being 'hot' out this morning

My sincere condolences on the loss of your Mum, I can totally comissurate as I lost my Mum in November to (#****cancer)!!
Once the weather warms up in Cowtown, I hope to get the X50 out on the asphalt for quite a bit more than the ~500 km's that I put on last year.

@jegermiester Cowtown, eh? I'm up in Edmonton, but the scene here is small. Might have to swing by Calgary in the summer...

Campbell River is an interesting choice. The town has grown up quite a bit.

Meant to do a tour of Vancouver Island before we moved out here in 2022 (meant to go Victoria to Port Hardy in the TT, but didn't). Last time I went up Island was going Victoria to Comox to catch the 5 or 6am ferry to Powell River...Made that trip in short time leaving Victoria at 230am...

Pain aside, car looks awesome.
