Car is nice, but the wheels are a bit much.

Not for me, I think the term "ricer" comes into play.

Wow! ....if a little red is great, and a lot of red is better, then way too much red is just about right!

On another note....It is easy to tell at first glance that the tire is a Michelin Pilot Super Sport 305/30/20 non-run flat due to the very large "rim protector" on that particular Michelin tire.

As C7Jake pointed out, it is listed as a 2014 but also listed with PDR and an 8 speed auto. VIN posted is a 2014 VIN, 3LT Auto. So, this is a 6 speed and there is no PDR. Fraudulent ad (not to mention the hideous wheels).
