Um, no. Those are plastic sheets to protect the wheels during shipping.

As Bill Engvall would say "here's your sign".

recent post on Autogespot of a Rhodium car w/ Clubsport, black wheels, and xenon lights. I think it'd look better w/ the PCCBs, but still a sick car.
Great looking car especially with the black headlights. I would be losing alot of sleep right now if I had to spec one. I passed on my allocation due to lack of carbon seats and hope to either get a GT3 or RS for 2015.

Thank you.. Sheesh.. I'll make sure to insert. Smiley face or something blatant next time I'm trying for a joke.

I have gone from red without pccb and red stitch interior, to agate grey with pccb and yellow belts with no red.. To falling in love with rhodium and black headlights... This is a sickness, so worried ab making wrong choice. I want to absolutely fall in love with one color combo to the exclusion of all others.. Haven't been able to yet. Probably why I'm not married yet.. Every time I think I'm ok with my selection.... This new blond one comes along and I find myself saying "oh, NOW I found the one..." Never sticks, never works... Hopeless.

The dark blue looks great with the wheels.

I'm still sticking with white.

I think Sapphire blue looks good with the standard gray wheels.

So glad I'm not still going through this color thing. Every time I see a Guards car with PCCB's I'm more convinced I made the right choice, CAlexio's issues with red and yellow notwithstanding. (Alex, did you have a bad McDonald's experience? ) Same with the red stitching. It's very nice, but it becomes a focal point of the interior for me and I'd prefer that stitching not be.

Black wheels can look good, but I suspect they have more appeal to a younger demographic than they do to mine.

Good luck to all of you undecided folks. This car looks good in almost every color so it's hard to go wrong!

CAlexio, thanks for posting. Are you sure the silver car is GT not Rhodium, it seems to have a little blue tint and brightness characteristic of Rhodium. Do you think it's the lighting?

All of the AutoGeSpot 'Spotted' pics from one summary link location

I like this, but it reminds me too much of Jerez Black...already done that.
