Agreed! the OP must see them in person and the bi-color are tops IMO! I actually signed off on them over the black by accident and glad I did.

I also ordered the black ones for my DG even though I ordered the comp model and could have selected the comp wheels. Personally, I prefer the black rims over the bicolor rims especially with black trim on the car, but I think that the bicolor rims can look good with the right colors and chrome trim pieces. In the end, these are all personal choices and there is no wrong answer. People should get what they like best.

Noooooo, look 18?! Here's snap of mine and look even better in person, but you can't go wrong either way. You will surely regret not getting this incredible machine over the wheels...

As previously mentioned they look massive in person.

An bi-color really shows off the wheels nicely [IMG][/IMG]

Yes, keeping them clean is fun! Mine have the ceramic pro finish on them, so if I go to the touchless carwash they actually come out clean!. If you take the time to clean them correctly you have to get your hand in behind each spoke, there is actually a lot of surface area on these things.

About to place an order for frozen dark silver.
Saw the comp rims in person and like the standard all-black 20 inch rims more.
Given the weight advantage I will go for comp rims but will most likely powdercoat them in black.


Jesus! I’ve just read what I had written. Powder-coating rims on a new car to get the right visual effect! Why couldn’t they offer this option as a factory one?

Do you know what the weight advantage is? Although some will disagree, I think that unless you are seriously tracking the car, it will be hard to notice the weight difference if there is one.

Also, any idea on how much powder-coating the wheels would cost? Thanks
