Discount tire has them in that size for 100.00 each. They always have a visa rebate deal on Memorial day. I get a 75.00 one back in the mail.

I really like the weather techs , just wish the passenger mat went up another 4" higher though. they definitely protect the carpet under neath though. especially with our winters with road salt.

No way. I was just thinking of ordering those but at 600. Where on DT did you find them at 100 a piece?

I have had mine for 2yrs now, love them in the dry and wet, but you better have the snows on if you get more than a dusting!!!!

Another caution about them is they do develop flat spots if you leave it parked for a day or 2. It will take till the end of my block for them to become round again, but no real big deal.

Thanks for the heads up. I do have winter tires. These will just be for summer. I also couldn't decide what I want to do for summer wheels so I'll get these and worry about it when they wear out.

I've just looked back over some of your previous threads, looked at all your previous pics (I look at them from time to time ), your SC setup makes me drool. I'm threatening to buy one as soon as I get another DD for my wife, so that my IS is more available for garage time...

Just read over your install of the PLX devices, makes my liver quiver just looking at that cutting. Nonetheless, I'll be installing mine this summer when I have my cluster out for pixel repair.

Are the V.2 LEDs in your current headlights any different than the previous? Same color temp? Do they have a purplish tinge to them, same as the pictures?
Please note! I had to do some reconfiguring of the DM-100 bezel and plastic weld it into the cutaway opening of the cluster. Be careful cutting! I would offer to do this at a cost for you if interested. Just throwing that out there.

That photo of the v.1 LED's shows them a little purple-ish when in reality the light is white. The v.2 led's are a bright bright pure white.

Thats good to hear. I have read some great reviews. The only negative I have read is that they are terrible in the snow, which I do not plan on using them for anyway (I have new Lattitude Alpins for that). I don't plan on driving the X5 that much in the summer anyway, so dropping a ton of money on tires is something I'd rather not do, but I don't want to sacrifice safety. I have had good luck with Nittos in the past.
