Potentially very fast! Luckily, this is mostly a mall crawler fleet.

Looks great and the silver colored wheels are unique in an age where most choose a darker color.

Yeah, the "standard" silver wheels were my biggest question mark in the entire build, specifically because I did not know hoe it would go with the Rhodium exterior. My initial plan was to fit aftermarket wheels and, therefore, I didn't want to spend extra on any of the optional OEM wheels. But now that I have the car, I think the silver wheels look great, and I may end up keeping them.

Thank you everyone. I'm still a little overwhelmed. So far I've only driven to work and back (unfortunately), and the sequence for the commute has been as follows.

1. Stare at it
2. Get in
3. Turn key to first position
4. Switch sport mode on
5. Start the car
6. Turn the sound system up
7. Pull away
8. Immediately turn the sound system off
9. Arrive at work much quicker than usual.
10. Stare at it some more
11. Sit in the office, stare at the key on my desk, and read Rennlist.
12. Repeat

Will
