Im sorry to hear this... you have alot of patience. I would have lost it already.... I hope everything works out.

BTW:I hope Heinz realizes the power of 6speed/internet and how all of communicate good and bad experiences with dealers...

Does HRE have an option for the Cayenne?
I think you should stretch out into something new.

The rinspeeds do look good though...especially on BD 997's Cayenne.

That option is my last resort. The real problem is that I can't find another wheel I like as much, not even close. Rinnspeed would be my 2nd choice, but a distant 2nd.

Yes, black. I know, I know... I am like the kid that won't listen.

What do you suggest in black?

Good thing I put the purchase on my Visa - one call will fix it all. I will give him to the end of the week to deliver.

I wouldn't mind a Rinspeed set in black, just not the polished lip. My CTT has the black out options.

Thanks.
