Aluminum mag ( wheel ) it is.

Magnesium ones more resistant ? Ever. Chemistry is simple : Mg is a lightweight material that has a good strength-to-weight ratio and is corrosion resistant. But when compared to Al, Mg is softer, less stable and tends to bend easier under stress.

Anyway...blame on the driver here 100%. Was not paying attention and speed was not adequate either. If it went thru at 20-30...maybe would have been ok, maybe a small dent.

Wow. That's crazy.

Apologies for not keeping up with this as I didn't read all posts, but there are more allocations for 2025 that are being handed out to dealers, correct? Is a GT car trade with enough margin enough to secure an allocation, or will it be more than that? I'm sure I can just email my dealer and ask the status, but figured I'd ask here first.

Ready to put some miles on her, 932 miles can't come soon enough.

Beautiful car
Those blue wheels sure change shades with different angles.
Did you ceramic coat the wheels? I wonder if that will change the satin finish appearance...

Yeah, they look so good in person.Yes, wheels and calipers ceramic coated. I will let you know if the finish looks different.

Beautiful. What's the significance of 932 miles?

Thank you!

Break-in mileage/1,500km. I can then uncork her up to 9k.

Beautiful! When did your car start production, if I may ask? Mine started in June and I'm still waiting for completion.

I figured. But I thought the break-in was 2000 miles. What is your source? (I know it's a controversial topic, and some say no break-in is necessary.)
