Re: T31 Genuine Alloys
Hi Glenn,
I'd advise against getting an upgrade to the alloys at the dealers, as they cost around $850 each!
The best option would be to wait a while until you can get them from the wreckers or from tyre places when someone upgrades their factory T31 alloys to an aftermarket set of alloys and it won't be long before this happens (if it hasn't happened already)

Re: T31 Genuine Alloys
I think the 4K upgrade to the TL is quite reasonable. If I decide to buy a T31, it'll be the top of the range to save me some time modifying it like I have done with my T30

Re: T31 Genuine Alloys
We bought the TL... after looking at what other car makers charge for things like sunroofs, electric seats and leather, $4k was a bargin to upgrade from the TS. Actually it's only $3K...
The sunroof is easily worth the cash, it's friggen huge!!
Have a look at the prices VW charge for Sunroofs, Leather seats on the Tiguan, and then you will realise the Nissan isn't that bad.
Aren't the alloys the same between the TS and TL? Only the ST comes with steel wheels, pretty sure the TS is the same as the ST-L. TS also comes with 6 stacker CD.
Picking my beast up this weekend, I hope. Wife won the straw poll to drive it home, while I follow in the bunkie Mazda 3... doh! Oh the pain...
Cheers,
Chris.

The only problem I see with this is that you don't have a choice with rim styles. I mean Nissan have basically the same alloy rim in the Exy, Pathy and Patrol. It will become alittle boring after a while.
Thats why I chose the St, then I can do what I want with more choices.
I 've seen your exy mate , I can't see you in "a factory version".

Re: T31 Genuine Alloys
That's true Tony, but even the factory alloys can be made to look completely unique like you've seen what can be done to the factory Murano alloys
There are things which I prefer to have as per factory set-up and which will be very costly to add as an aftermarket option, examples of that is the sunroof (which cost about $2,500 aftermarket and is MUCH smaller) and also climate control.
