I'll admit I like aluminum roof rails better, but Candian 20's are really nice. Either way you don't have to get sport package if you feel like being ripped off. The main reason I got sport package is because of the tires that come with 20's. I actually wanted 19's because of crappy roads around here. However, in US 19's come with crappy continentals and 20's come with pirrelli scoripons.

the shortage is mb problem i don't see why the customer have to suffer on their behalf they should lower the price of the sport package for those who didn't have it with the rails or a rebate of some sort say i didn't buy the sport pack for the wheels but i liked the ali rail

You don't have to suffer, shouldn't have taken the car if it was agreed that you would be getting the alum rails and it's such a big deal for you, what can you do? ***** happens, move on and enjoy the car, not like you can see them when you are driving.

At the end of day, I ordered the car with the Sports Package, love the 20's vs the 19's. To be honest I like the aluminum rails, but I rather enjoy the car, so its a huge deal for us.
