Back to the primary Pizza Wheel topic...from day 1, we knew that we were going to get rid of the stock GT wheels. Did a lot of research and changed my mind multiple times, but finally bit the bullet. Today, our new wheel and tire package arrived...I did what any car nut would do and left work...

This is exactly why we bought the Machine Gray color. My wife hates all the black plastic and the darker colors blend much better. We had a 2013 BMW X5 Diesel, also in the dark gray color, hated the plastic then, still hate it now. I might still get the plastic painted body color on the CX-5...

That is an excessive amount of test drive miles...

Yep, looks like H&R now has a set of springs. I will be ordering a set soon after I get my new wheels/tires delivered this week.

I did more research and did see too many quality issues. I ended up ordering some TSW Sprints in gunmetal... they should be delivered this week. Will post pictures to keep the forum peeps content.

I was merely pointing out that a cover is not a viable solution to preventing swirling. My cleaning routine is perhaps a bit extreme (especially having 4 cars), but detailing cars is a pretty serious hobby of mine so I was sharing my method of swirl prevention to the OP along with anyone else...

I used to religiously cover my car, but unless the paint is perfectly clean, a car cover just adds to paint swirling as it will drag any contaminants on the surface of the car across the paint while the cover is being installed and removed. The only way to eliminate paint swirling is to...

Just an FYI, last Friday, I ordered replacement wheels and tires for my 2017 CX-5 GT AWD and the aftermarket TPMS were a discussion point I had with them. They did some research and called me back...according to them, there are no aftermarket sensors that are compatible with the Mazda...

We picked up a 2017 GT AWD in late December specifically because there is zero benefit on an AWD CX-5 to have CD. Plus, the one we purchased only had 5 miles on it.

I, like many other have said, have never been a Bose fan. However, the Bose in our 2017 GT is actually pretty decent. I have been pleasantly surprised.

Totally agree...great pic!

Not necessarily the case...the factory tire size of 225/55R19 has an identical outer diameter of a 245/45R20. A 255/45/20 is about a -1% change from the factory tire which will not cause any issues. All my previous BMW's had a speedometer to actual speed differential of at least 3%. Your...

This pic shows what I think the OP is referring to, on the rear wheel arch molding at about the 2 o'clock position.

I am going through the same research project since we picked up our CX-5 GT in December. I am looking at 20x8.5 et40 TSW Sprint Gunmetal wheels with either 245/45R20 or 255/45R20 BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S. Everything I have researched so far leads me to believe that either of these tire...

I've driven turbocharged cars almost exclusively since 2003 (2003 and 2013 Subaru WRX, 2013 X5 Diesel, 2017 VW GTI) with one exception being a supercharged 2016 Audi SQ5. I have had zero turbo related issues with any of them but I am very anal about oil changes and proper maintenance. Our 2017...

The wanwu covers are back in stock at Amazon... just ordered a set.

The SQ5 was mine while the wife had the X5. I put 22K miles on it for the year I owned it. It was my first automatic car and I grew to hate it. The trans did not mate well with the awesome engine. I averaged low 20's, mostly highway. The X5 was also low 20's, but all city driving by my wife. On...

We have had a 2013 BMW X5 diesel and a 2016 Audit SQ5 prior to purchasing our 2017 Cx5. We extensively test drove the CRV wanting to like it. It felt way too appliance like and my wife hated the way it drove. The CX5 has a fair amount of the solid feeling and character of our previous German...

This is the key. I have used ONR for years. I recently have gone to the next level and purchased a pressure washer, foam sprayer, and a metrovac blower to dry the car. I rinse, foam, ONR, then use the blower. The foam is a great lubricant during the hand wash with ONR. The trick is to...
