I found out on Friday that my new car is ready for the ship !! Now I just need to get rid of the wheels and figure out the best way to put 166's on without any $$ upcharge ,The dealer won't do it, they've offered me $2000 for the mounted 172's if I supply the 166's with tires . Given all the crap I've been through I would have thought they would accommodate this change since the 172's are actually a little cheaper than 166's !! I'm sure someone here will need some 172's , I've got 5-6 weeks to figure it out.The weather should be getting more like Spring when it's delivered so I'm getting pumped !

I got the same info when I called today about my car. I hope that it really is 6 weeks because my SA thinks it will be closer to 3-4 and I really don't want it before mid March.

Mine is already on a boat, floating around somewhere mid-Atlantic. This is the worst part. The wait is killing me. And, being on the west coast, it takes longer for the boat to get here. ![Frown](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/sad.gif)

Wanna race? I'm willing to bet mine gets here faster.
That should put an end to the 535/550 debate once and for all.
