I think u solved some of the handling, wallowing issues. Had to se the air suspension manually to max handling and firmness, as opposed to standard sport setting. Helps quite a bit with feeling more in control...though at the sacrifice of some ride comfort. Will tweak around with it more.

they're very nice but for me a bit blingy for the x style.

also does it compromise ride quality much? i know you have air which helps though.

Ya makes me the car stand out a bit for such plain white setup....I may plastidip it and see if it looks better.

Ride is surprisingly supple, though the tires I chose (not EV specific) is pretty noisy, so I need to swap them out soon.

I like the black ones you had on in an earlier post better. These don't look bad, but don't quite match the car
