Are these standard alloys for you guys across the pond?

Hope you give us a Review tomorrowWell, new message for today. It seems that I'm going to meet the first i30N DCT arrived to the dealership tomorrow
Yep. We only get the Performance Pack in Australia, so the 19" forged wheels are standard.
Hey Fellows,
I was just able to drive the DCT hatch.
I was pretty sure I would get the manual. Now I am actually tending for the DCT.
Pretty much the best DCT i've been driving so far. Absolutely way better than the VW DCT in my opinion.
It responds very fast and switches gears quite smoothly.
I like the facelift way better than the pre facelift.
The only thing i am still concerned about is the longevity of the dct, as i am driving a lot through cities as well.
Here are some pics. The performance blue comes out really nice (was never a fan of the colour before).

Unable to track ship, out of range.... but current eta into Singapore is 20th May.Australian in Victoria, my dealer just messaged to confirm the ship with my car has an estimated docking date of 04/07 into melbourne
I have no clue why you are no longer able to track it in other apps, maybe to many requests... Thanks for the app info.If you get the app "Ship Info", it has free satellite tracking. Currently just off the coast of Sri Lanka.

Excitement is high, still frustrating to not know exactly what we have bought. In Australia we are all still going off an allegedly leaked internal bulletin from last year outlining specs and features at each trim level. From all Hyundai Australia have announced we could be getting anything. I’ve ordered the base model and don’t even know what the seats will look like
I can't see the justification for anything over $55K for the DCT Lux with sunroof. The only real cost over the old model are the new pews and wheels. I was told by my dealer, how spoke directly to and unnamed source at Hyundai'(whilst I was in the room) to expect between $2- $3k increase over the outgoing model, that puts it around the before mentioned drive away price without discounts.
If Hyundai attempt to price it closer to the Golf GTI, they will have effectively pushed buyers to another brand. My thoughts are an increase of $5K for the DCT, it's not like they designed and built the auto cog changer specifically for the i30N or Veloster N, that includes the pews and wheels!
I wont pay more than the stated amount, it's just not worth more. I would rather buy the i30 N-Line and save the $ for investments or other such value adding activities.
It's a case of sit back and wait, we will have all our questions answered soon.
Thanks.Well said Xcelr8. I agree that Hyundai are in danger of shooting themselves in the foot with overpricing the i30N. If I can't secure a standard model (no options) for £2-£3k less than a GTi I will be driving a VW. I'm talking about the final price paid, not the headline price of course.
