Default Allocation finally in TYD

Finally have a confirmed allocation,, Yea! Since Dolomite Silver no longer an option, may change direction and go Jet Black Metallic. Cannot decided on wheel color. What are thoughts on JBM vs Satin wheels on a JBM car.

Thanks.

That's what my C2S cost, you missed out on quite a few of the good options, and I too prefer Silver wheels or machine faced. Black wheels is like a 70 year old man wearing white sneakers, shorts, and black socks pulled up to his knees.

My one glimmer of good choices was the chalk seats.

Maybe she can get some New Balances as driving shoes. C2S allocations are hard to get. Took me 8 months to get a base allocation and was on several lists for an S. Anyway, the S would have been configured about the same way.

I have a Base C2 and it drives great as long as the tire pressure is set right. BTW, I hope your wife likes to wash her car often :-)

She better. Also hoping full PPF and ceramic helps out some. Have not had a black car in a long time.

Full PPF made it mostly a non issue for my JBM 991.2.
I drove home through rain the other day and my wife said “your car still looks clean”. Aventurine Green is easier. 😂
Of course, she just got a new A6 in Mythos Black, so there’s that…

My wife too prefers black wheels with a black car...go figure. Anyway, this car is for me not her, so I went with RS Spyder in platinum. I think they look beautiful with JBM. Sorry for the bad pict, but its all I got since since I never took delivery of the car (engine issue). My 3rd one (2nd one sank with Facility Ace) is scheduled to arrive in 10 days. Hopefully all is perfect this time!

If one is really set on black on black, I think this black w/ Platinum wheels is a great option. At least you can see the beautiful wheels contrast from the body. Coming from a guy who prefers silver wheels, I think this combo looks awesome.
