Optioning New F83 Help

[rockitdoc]

I was rooting around trying to find some bits to option out my new F83 and ran into a snag. For example, I wasnted to see what other wheels were available besides those in the 'Build Your own' window (only three shown) but in the

website, nothing is shown for the F83. Also, I wanted to put a carbon splitter in the front and black kidneys, but nothing comes up for the F83. Am I in the wrong place or can the F83 not be optioned like the F80?

Confused.

Pretty sure entire front bumper between F80, 82 and 83 are identical. Thought the wheels are also....

The build your own page has two 19" wheels shown. One is partly black the other silver. What wheel is all black?

Not many options on the build your own website. When I customized my F82 there were no options for ANY accessories and there were only 3 options for wheels. I believe the accessories have to be ordered while youre at the dealership (correct me if im wrong). As far as the rims, not sure what other options there are besides what is listed.

I keep seeing peoples cars with full black double five spokers. The website shows these wheels with some silver on the spokes. Are people powdercoating their wheels?

I have the ones with some silver on the spokes. Are these the wheels you are seeing? They look pretty black at certain angles / in certain lighting.

Yep. Those are them. Must be the light. Thanks.

Yeah, they look different in direct sunlight during the day vs. from an angle at night or in a garage.

Most likely since they only come all silver or a combination of black and silver. I've never seen an all black version of it. I believe you might be able to have it powder coated by the dealership since I have seen window stickers before listing powder coating as an option which was around 900 or so I believe. Not entirely sure about the price.

It's actually closer to gunmetal than silver in person. More grayish
