Curious which wheels you chose. Car launched with standard grey/titanium, which look good to my eyes. Lava looks closest to tangerine to me, and I worry that black gloss will be too much contrast, with grey or silver looking better? Just interested to see what others thought and how you built.

I went with black because I abso hate cleaning wheels...black allows me to be lazy during my in-between detailing sessions.

I would believe the stock grey would hide the dirt/brake dust better then black.

There is definitely that possibility.

Best product ever, spray on, wait a few minutes, hose it down and they look 90% to 95% clean.

Fortunately the RS can be option with Satin Black, and it looks clean. I'm not a fan of gloss back wheels.
