Sorry to my late reaction. i was sleeping.
Now is already Sunday morining in Japan.
Actually i got my wheel from below.

http://www.work-wheels.net/products/...=20&Item_id=91

This is made in Japan.
We can order the wheel offset as you like.

There is no exhaust modification on my car.
Just i installed "tail finisher" 100mm dia. for Q7.
See attached images.
Guessingly difficult to get it on website in US?
This was not so cheap, and around 150US$ for 2 units.
However looks a little bit cheapish so...wanna change it to *** muffler.

Thanks.

Perfect!
I see that you happy! Your baby polished like Easter egg!(Sorry my french)
Next stage must be upgrade of brakes because your stock brake’s disks are smaller against the background of your 19 inch rims.

Yes, that's right.
Modification of exhaust and brakes are one of my dream.
The biggest problem is allowing of my wife.
I am always getting scared of it more than blowing out of air springs!
Thanks

Don’t worry! Your have a nice (more democratic) price for spare parts what in Russia. You can just imagine what I will listen from my wife if she will know price of front air springs. Price of one air spring in Russia is a 915 Euro without installation.
Have a nice car!

915 Euro is only one air spring without shock kit?
If this OEM price is included shock, almost same as in Japan.
But not included shock, very very expensive!
Probably because of the custom duty is crazy.
Maybe in that case i will be going to Arnot Gen2...should be much cheaper, but performance better.

BTW how do you usually maintain your air springs?
I am usually blowing "Rubber Protectant" or "Armor All Protectant" to them around once monthly to prevent oxidization and degradation.
Please refer to below images.
In level 3 or 4, we can suppy it to air springs thruogh the gap between fender and tire without dismantling wheels and tires.
When i access to the rear springs must get underneath of allroad.
This is just like a self-complacency but much cheaper than buying brand new air springs.
So somehow feel like secure my self.
Wainting for someone's opinion.
