Default 2015 Wheel Options
I have spoken with a few of dealers, with no clear answer, about the availability of the 18/19" machine faced aluminum wheels that were available on the 2014 model. I believe it is the RQ1 option. Are these available for 2015?
Thanks

Sounds like the wheels you have in mind are available; the RPO code is just different from what you thought.

The machine faced wheels for 2015 are now painted black. The machined faced wheels for 2014 were painted silver and looked similar to the standard painted wheels.

I wish those wheels had been available in 2014, I think they look great.
