- Wheels: Kastivich included four Sparco Dakar 18x8.5 +32 (I think but need to confirm) wheels with the Cayenne. I plan to mount snow tires on these. I need to buy at least one more for a spare

They are! https://shop.eurowise.com/products/ewordakarbk

WHEEL WOES:

Sparco discontinued the Dakar wheel. Eurowise doesn't have any in stock. Eurowise also doesn't have any OZ Rally Raid wheels, which have the same width and offset. I've reached out to them for alternatives. Another possibility is to get my hands on a fifth Alutec Grip wheel and simply swap my summer tires with Blizzaks (I'm like 95% sure I want to go for them over Hakkapeliittas). I can't find a vendor for Alutec wheels either, but I'll see if my tire shop can recommend somebody.

Kastivich, did you buy the Alutec wheels as well? They're 18x8 +52, correct? Where did you get them from?


Yeah, that's right. I got them from Tire Rack. Seems like those are still in stock.

 Probably not worth a two hour round trip, but you are welcome to borrow my trailer.

Kastivich, I don't blame you. This is probably the same idiot that put in the drat backup camera or the ridiculous head unit.

Edit: one of those sockets with a bunch of spring-loaded pins might get this out if I treat it as a single use tool.

Yeah, wow. This one wasn't my doing. I wonder if they got it out and put it back in like that or just gave up after hacking it into shape.
